Not sure what to say?

I did not know Lydia well, only through her amazing support and kindness at Bliley's. She helped me with arrangements when my Dad passed away and helped to make a very sad occasion much better. I still have the angel that she gave me. Her warmth and caring will always be remembered. She truly touched my heart. Heaven now has another wonderful angel.

I worked with Lydia at the phone company for many years . Also enjoyed running into her and Al at different music events. At one point she and Al lived across the street from my brother. What I loved most about Lydia was her sense of humor. She was always so upbeat! I remember when my Mom passed away she learned the difference between a jonquil and a daffodil. My Mom´s favorite flower (as is mine also) is jonquils. Lydia made sure that jonquils were pictured in her pictorial. RIP sweet lady.

Lydia was of immeasurable comfort and assistance at the Staples Mill chapel when my daughter passed several years ago. I will always remember her kindness as we traversed that difficult occasion. May she find peace and her family, love and support. Lydia was a special person.

I am so sad to read about Lydia´s passing. We worked together at the phone company and Lydia was a wonderful manager. She also was so supportive during the loss of family members at Bliley´s. Sending condolences to her family.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

The family have my deepest sympathy on the homegoing of your Dear Lydia Driggers. She was one of the best supervisors I had at Verizon Telephone company. She was loved by everyone in our department. May you find comfort in knowing she fought a good fight and kept the faith. Love never dies she will be with you forever! Nancy Broadie, Verizon Retiree

Lydia went to Henrico High School and Bell Atlantic/Verizon. I´m so sorry to hear of your passing and sending condolences to your family. Lydia you were the sweetest person I knew and always had a smile each time we ran into each other. Rest peacefully and I´ll never forget you!

Lydia was my favorite supervisor at Bell Atlantic because of her caring for others. Especially the way she allowed me to excel and provide support. She was also a family friend of the Donati family.

Lydia was a friend from Henrico High School and on to Verizon. I ran into her several times when she was working at Bliley´s. She always had that sweet smile and will be remembered that way. Such a ray of sunshine.
