Lydia was a wonderful lady and brought up her children very well. see this in her oldest daughter Gloria, who has a wonderful family with two lovely daughters and has the patience that Lydia did. I am sure that Lydia will rest in peace and we will all remember her as a good parent and a peaceful woman as well a beautiful member of the community.
I am sure she left with beautiful memories of all her family and friends and we will not forget her. Condolences to all. Maureen
