I’m so sorry to hear of Lydia’s passing. I had the pleasure of being her hair stylist for many years before I retired.
She was such a sweet lady who had an abundance of energy and who enjoyed life, giving and sharing with others. She handled life’s oppositions with much grace and positivity.
May the Lord bless her family and friends who loved her dearly and looked out for her when she needed them. Prayers for your comfort and peace during this time of grief.
She was a very sweet lady. We were good neighbors before I had to move and I enjoyed our conversations with her each time I pass her by. She will be greatly missed.
