Lydia was such an important part of our family and will be deeply missed. I had so many great conversations with Lydia during the holidays in the kitchen when we worked together preparing the holiday meal. April and I really enjoyed having the opportunity to take several vacations and trips with Lydia and Harry. Everyone who met her would know she was, plain and simply, just a wonderful person. It is truly hard to believe she is no longer with us. I will cherish our memories of her and also take solace in knowing she is at peace. We will always miss and love you Lydia.

Sending you our heart felt sympathy for your loss of Lydia. A wife and mother gives so much for her family. As a wife she was a helper.
When God made man he said, “It is not good for the man to continue to be alone. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him.”-Genesis 2:18. And as a mother her nurturing and encouraging words are so beneficial to her children. I’m sure you remember some of the advice found at Proverbs chapter 3 “My sons, do not forget my teachings, And may your hearts observe my commandments,
Because they will add many days and years of life and peace to you..” We are happy to be a friend of Lydia’s, “A true friend loves at all times.” -Proverbs 17:17. Yes, so many friends and relatives will miss the love of Lydia, our Gift from God a true treasure. Always pray and remember, God knows the words that you are trying to say even when you feel you don’t know how to express your thoughts.
We will treasure this wonderful picture. We love Lydia’s smile. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Dwight Colleen and our family. The Wilson’s

We are sending our heartfelt sympathy for your loss of Lydia, loving wife and mother. Harry we understand the loss of your mate, knowing that part of you is missing. When God made man he said: “It is not good for the man to continue to be alone. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him. The Bible book of Proverbs chapter 31:10-12 says: “Who can find a capable wife?
Her value is far more than that of corals. Her husband trust her with his heart, he lacks nothing of value. She rewards him with good,
and not bad, all the days of her life..verses 13–29 mentions her good qualities…. She delights to work with her hands. She also raises while it is still night, providing food for her household. . She prepares herself for hard work, and she strengthens her arms. She’s clothed with Strength and splendor, and she looks to the future with confidence. She opens her mouth to wisdom, the law of kindness is on her tongue. She watches over the activities of her household, and the bread of laziness she does not eat. Her children rise up and declare her happy her husband rises up and praises her. There are many capable women. But you-you surpass them all. We are sure you agree with these words.
And as a loving mother to Anthony and Geoffrey. You listened to her Guidance and encouragement. The Bible says to honor your father and your mother, showing that you are thankful and appreciative. Moms bring such a comfort to our hearts, hugs when we need them and give confidence when we feel down. Remember to pray constantly and that God hears your prayers even when you can’t say the words you are feeling…he knows, he’s there with you to give you strength, strength beyond your own.
In our thoughts and prayers, your neighbor, Dwight and Colleen Wilson and family.❤️
