I bless the day Lydia and Tom moved in next door to me.After.my husband Mick died Lydia was there for me.From exersize classes to art classes, holidays and coach trips were all so much fun with her. Not forgetting her ability to organise dinners out and at home . I miss her so.much

Lydia, you were the reason I loved my electric blue mascara when I was at St. Jones! You always made me feel at home at your house and I needed that 🫶

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star-shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. Poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye (1905-2004)

Well what can I say I inherited the most amazing mother in law when I married Damon. Lydia would light up every room she entered. Her infectious laugh, embellished stories and sarcasm (definitely passed this on to Damon) had us in fits of laughter. We will miss you so much our hearts are broken, they will mend in time and we will then fill them with the endless funny stories and memories we have. Heaven has gained an angel have fun up there. Love Hannah Damon Thomas Ollie and Buddy ♥️ To the amazing hospice, nurses and care assistants. We will be eternally grateful for the compassion and care and dignity you provided. Lydia was able to be at home surrounded by her family. Thank you

I have never met you Lydia. I have met your daughter, Sonja and granddaughter, Isabella. They are both lovely, beautiful, fantastic human beings. I can only assume they have a larger sprinkling of you in them. May you RIP. May you dance with angels and saints now.

Such a wonderful, funny and kind person with many warm memories I will never forget. Thank you and rest in peace. X

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Lydia. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
