I am so sad to hear of Lydia's passing.  I worked with Lydia as a court clerk and she was a lovely person. I will always remember her generous spirit.

Gary,

I'm so saddened at Lydia's passing. I enjoyed our talks at the CCA and all of the joking and fun the 3 of us had! I will sure miss the pumpkin bread and my friend Lydia.

Love Diane

My condolences to the Gonzales family.  I worked with Lydia from 1996 until her retirement.  I'll always remember her for her warmth and her love of her family.  She was a wonderful lady who will be missed by many.  She would be pleased by the attendance at her services. There was an amazing amount of people who came to pay tribute, and I thank the family for allowing me to share in their celebration of the life of their wife, mother, and Nana.

I will fondly remember all the times Lydia and I "ran into each other" over the course of raising our families since we moved down the street in 1986.  We made each other laugh out loud.  Our hearts go out to the Gonzales family.   

Debby, Rick, Lisa and Tom Bambauer

Rest in peace Lydia. You're in great hands and with great people.  Tell Judge Gaylord hi for me. 
 My deepest condolences to your family.

To Gary and Family, the CCA Staff and other Volunteers, to her special Friends and countless Acquaintances all mourning her loss:
Lydia had such a PRESENCE. Her smile, her directness, her business acumen meant that Chandler Center for the Arts' Concession Stand was "in Good Hands"--SHE made sure of it! Gary has lost his "Right-Hand Woman," in life and business. Things at CCA can never be the same without her there.  Uniquely gifted and a remarkable person--I wish I could have known her better. I know she will be sorely missed during the difficult days ahead. 
May God Bless, Comfort and Keep You

(Romans 8:38,39)

Gary and Lydia were such a TEAM running the Concession Stand at Chandler Center for the Arts! I am deeply saddened at the loss of Lydia. I will miss seeing her so much--everyone will. Things will NEVER be the same for the staff and volunteers at CCA. 
My Deepest Sympathies to Gary and Family,
Laurie Preston

Lydia, may God hold you in his loving arms and keep Gary, Michael, Sergio and the whole family strong in this time of sadness and loss.  Your many contributions to your family and friends and the community as a whole will be missed!

Missing you at Center for the Arts sweet Lydia.  God bless.
