I will never forget the many things Lydia and I shared, among them the many laughs. Her wisdom and knowledge of our ancestors and the stories she passed on to me I will always hold dearly in my heart. Her blue eyes always twinkled like the stars at night. Her love of all animals and nature itself in all forms was unmeasurable. I will miss her dearly but she will live on in my heart forever because of the beautiful memories I have of her. She is with her Jimmy now and looking down and smiling on all of us.

Lydia was such a beautiful person and wonderful friend. She was always smiling whenever I saw her. She was there for me when I lost Charlie and Jonathan and just listened and let me cry. That is a true friend. She will be missed but take comfort in knowing that she has gone to a better place. She will always be in my heart. I pray that you and the rest of family take comfort in knowing what a wonderful person she was.
