We met Lydia on Christmas Day several years before she moved in with Romie. Romie & family were invited to join us for Christmas lunch. Lydia was a delightful woman, but already knowing Romie, we knew that! Once she moved to Pasadena we attended the same church & got to know her even better. When she changed her hair to purple I realized how bold & daring she really was. I really admired the little spit fire. Thank you Jesus for the privilege of knowing this woman!
