Lydia will always be remembered as a bright light among anyone who knew her. That contagious laugh, her generosity, honesty and lovely spirit shone through to the world. I think of her yelling my name whenever she saw me and the joy and laughter in our conversations. These things will remain in my memories of her and in my heart. I cry as I write this because Lydia made the world around her brighter and lighter and that world is diminished without her. I know she is lighting up Heaven with laughter and love.
