I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Lydia at UB. She was always so kind and always smiled. She was a beautiful person and was taken way too early in life.

I use to work with Lydia at JCPenney.  I was so shocked to hear of her passing.  She always had a smile on her face no matter how the day went , but a bigger one when she talked about her husband Andy .  She will be so missed !

Candace and Doug, I can't begin to express my feeling of sadness or imagine your feelings on losing Lydia. She was a beautiful young woman taken way too soon from all that was waiting for her to accomplish in life. You are in my heart, my thoughts and prayers. Sending love to you both and to Andy.

Our deepest sympathy in your loss. Keeping you and yours in prayer.

Dear Candace, I am so sorry to learn about your loss. Although it has been many years, I think of you often. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Candace, Doug and Andy,
I was so saddened to hear of Lydia's passing. I have such fond memories of when my family would come visit yours, Candace and Doug, and of playing with Lydia - we had such fun together. You must be intensely proud of the compassionate, courageous and kind woman she became. I am deeply honored to have known her.
My love to you and you have my deepest condolences.

Dear Andy, I was sorry to learn of Lydia's passing. I wish i could have spent more time in getting to know you both while you were here at my home last summer.  Just to let you know that others care and perhaps it will give you comfort during this time

Dear Andy, our deepest sympathies are with you and Lydia's family and friends. We never had the honor of getting to know Lydia, but it is abundantly clear that she was a beautiful soul who brought joy to many. While altogether too brief, we hope the life, love, and memories you shared help bring you comfort. She will forever be with you.

Dear Andy and Lydia's Parents, Please accept my deepest condolences. I worked with Lydia briefly at UB and I am so truly sorry for you loss. Lydia will not be forgotten. You are all in my prayers.  Sincerely, Ann Metzler

Andy, I'm truly sorry to learn of your wife's passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

I knew Lydia from danceability. She was an absolutely loving, caring, and friendly woman who went above and beyond for her dancer and all our dancers. I enjoyed my time dancing with her in our volunteer dance, and know our whole danceability family will miss her smiling face.

Candace, Doug, and Andy, my thoughts and prayers are with you.  Lydia was in my first (long-term sub) class so many years ago!  In my mind's eye, I can see her smiling like it was yesterday.  It is so good to see photos & comments that show the students in that class have stayed connected over the years.  Blessings to all!

RIP Lydia. Fly high. My condolences are sent to all her family!

Dear Doug, Candace, and Andy, I am so sorry to hear about Lydia. I know you don't know me Andy, but I had your dear wife in my 2nd grade class. She was a sweet heart. I know I didn't see her, but I remembered her and talked to her on Facebook. I am praying for all of you that God will comfort your hearts at this time. She will definitely be missed. Love, Cheryl Mallen

Candace & Doug, my heart goes out to you. I fondly remember Lydia in my dance classes & the friendship you gave me. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Candace, Doug, and Andy My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.  Lydia always had a way to make your day a little brighter.  Whether it was just a simple smile or encouraging words, you could always count on her!  Thank you for the memories, and the friendship.  Again, my thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.

Dear Andy and Lydia's dad and mom, I was so sorry to hear about Lydia's passing. Lydia was such a strong young lady, who never complained and had such strength and courage. I was lucky to have been her home care nurse, and take care of such a great kiddo. Hugs to all of you, and rest in peace Lydia, you put a long battle with such kindness and dignity. You will be missed

We have happy memories of Lydia since we first met her when she started elementary school with our daughter Beth. They have been friends ever since. We can't begin to express our sadness at the news of her passing. Love and prayers to all of her family and friends. She will be greatly missed, but her light will shine in our lives forever.

Doug, Candice and Andy please accept our deepest sympathy in the passing of Lydia.  She brought us such joy as a little girl, our little Pete. She grew into such a loving and giving lady, she will be missed.       Dana and Julie Rublee

Andy, Candace & Doug,

We were shocked and deeply saddened to learn yesterday that Lydia's now with us in spirit. She was truly an amazing woman and an inspiration to everyone who knew her and the myriad challenges that she faced over the years with unyielding courage, a ready smile and, of course, unbounded love for her family and friends.

God Bless You, Lydia, Godspeed & Aloha!

I am so sorry to hear of Lydia's passing, she was a good friend growing up and the kindest of people. She always cared for others, and was the definition of honest and kind. For her family, Candace and Douglas, and Andy who I never had the pleasure of meeting but have seen in some wonderful pictures - I wish I could figure out an actual way to help with what you are going through, but I have no idea where to start. Just know I feel for you, I love you, and that my thoughts and heart are with you in this difficult time.

The heart of a lion and the organizational skills of Martha Stewart. She will be sorely missed.
