Lydia in my heart is remembered for her kindness, giving and caring for people. I me her as a client when I worked T PNC and she quickly became a friend and a prayer warrior. Health issues were a common bond. Never complained but always cared and wore a smile dig enough to share with others. She is missed.

Time flies by for certain. I can't believe My Friend is gone 5 years. I remember her and her kindness so vividly. Lydia Loved her Family so much, had great things to say about them and always wanted the best for them. I had the pleasure of knowing her son Stanley and like All Moms sons do have that special spot in our heart, I know, I have two Sons. I loved my friend Lydia, I truly miss her and with the help of our Good Lord we will continue our friendship in Heaven. Always in our Heart, Rest Peacefully, God Bless.

Dearest Stanley and Family, I had no idea your Mom was so ill, I have been on disability for 3 yrs but we kept in touch. She wrote and said she was not doing so good but I had no idea. A friend called from the bank and I was in shock, I have prayed and cried, she was an angel on earth and now in heaven. Special people are rare, embrace and cherish those in your life, enjoy her memory, feel her love and know she is with you always. God Bless.

When I first met Mom I thought she was off the wall the funny and obscene jesters made me laugh so hard where my belly would hurt. As time went by and spent more time with her I knew that I found a new life long friend. I miss our phone calls especially at 2 am .. When she had her hip replacement she still was in the best of sprits and made everyone laugh. Thank you for all the memories and the time we spent together. Let me tell you something she would always say to me and have a funny story to tell.. There will always be a place in my heart for you.

My mother died suddenly and left a huge space in our lives. These few words summed up the most important part in hers. It gives me hope and reminds me of how my mom enriched and touched my life in a way that has made me who I am, and it reminds me to be thankful of the memories that I will always have of her. Just because she is no longer physically next to me, she will always be a part of me "But for now I feel dead inside it seems as if time stands still. And silence... a quiet sadness... often can be felt, not just heard, a longing for one more day... one more word... one more touch... I pick up the phone every so often to call her, I may not understand why God chose to have my Mom leave this earth so soon, or why she had to leave before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little, we will begin to remember not just that my Mom died, but that she lived. And that her life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see her again someday, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean goodbye." I miss you Mom and love you very much and we told each other everyday.. Your Daughter Tammy~
