As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Lydia was a joy to be around, we had a lot of fun at Bingo and she was always trying to help somebody.

God´s grace and comfort be upon be upon Lydia´s family, friends, and all who knew her. May you take comfort in knowing her soul has entered into eternal rest with the Lord. I only knew her for a short time, but long enough to know what a truly special lady she was, and the impact that she had on everyone around her.
