Lydia was always such a sweet lady and I loved seeing her with all the kids at family functions. They would flock to her lap and just love her attention. She will be missed and may God Bless you and your family.

Our deepest sympathy is with your entire family at this time of need. Lydia was a great Christian woman true to her faith. She was a loving mother in law to me and caring grandmother to Hilary. We will keep her in our prayers.

I will miss Lydia. She was a faithful member of the Hull Street Shelter team long before I was part of the team. We will all miss her smiling face, gentle spirit, and of course her famous cookies! My deepest sympathies to Randy and family.
