Not sure what to say?

I loved working under her and she was very nice and I loved seeing her in the Winter Park St Patrick Day Parades

Mrs. Gardner was my teacher years ago in Maryland. She motivated and encouraged me like no other. What an impact she made on so many. Rest in Peace wonderful lady!

I was horrified to read of your passing & unsure why I did not really hear about it on the news! It was only this a.m., when researching a case on iclerk that I sawa there was an interim clerk. I just figured you had retired! You could light up the room sweet lady. Rest in peace!

I never met you. I voted for you because of your lovely smile. Reading more about you have now motivated me to meet more people and do more for my community. Reading what everyone else is saying, I know I missed out on meeting someone special as you.

While earth will miss you, heaven will be rejoicing.

Dear Betsy,
Just wanted you to know that an old friend and colleague was thinking of you at this difficult time. What a gift your Mother was to you, apparently to all who knew her and to my hometown. Know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers for many days to come and that your grief will pass but good memories will last forever. Affectionately,

Betsy, Chris & John,
Lydia Ellen Burr Gardner was certainly a high impact woman who will be remembered fondly by all who knew her. She was smart as a whip, loving, supporting, honest (sometimes painfullly so), cheerful and courageous. We shall all miss her dearly. May the blessings of Heaven rest upon her and your family.

Most Sincerely,
T. A. Morris, M.D.

So very saddened to know of the passing of such a dear friend to so many people. So heartened to know of the memories she leaves for all of us who knew and loved her.

Lydia was the consummate “people person”. She brightened every room that she entered, and she tried her best to make every person in the room feel significant. Whether you were a friend, coworker, business associate or a customer, Lydia made you feel like the person IN the job was more important than the job itself. She somehow remembered the names of spouses, children, and significant life events. She knew where your children were going to college, when they were getting married, and who was...

My deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of Lydia Gardner. She was a true gem and I will miss her dearly. Especially that smile. Keep smiling Lydia!
