Andrea Restrepo wrote a sympathy message

“Lydia was an amazing woman. Her kindness and her love of her family and friends will be her lasting legacy. She enjoyed baking and planting her flowers, spreading happiness through food and beauty to her family and neighbors. Her strength was patience and she loved to talk but also listen too which is a very wonderful combination. Her commanding belief in her faith was her guide and she lead a Christian life as example to all. She will be dearly missed but I know she will be watching over us.”
