With our brothers and sisters from New Life church on March 28th, 2010 celebrating baptism and a new family in Christ.

So honor to have met her on this special day and grateful that God send me Lydia, in my new journey as follower of Christ. I’m forever grateful for my sister  Lydia,  in helping me grow more in Gods word. She set a great example in finding opportunities to share the gospel with others.

Her prayer and blessings in my life , started here. I learn so much from her and I’m truly going to miss our talks,  advice and prayers. I’m so grateful for all the times that we share bible studies. I hope I can be that wise one day and a loving sister, that  gently corrects when needed ,as she was to me.

This day was special, as I want it to surprise her with beautiful flowers near Mother’s Day. To show her how much I appreciate her and our long talks with chamomile tea or soup. Thank you so much for sharing your mom with so many of us.

Psalms 23:4
“Even though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
My beloved sister, I will miss you more than words can express.  As the oldest sibling in our family, you always looked out for Nohemi, Ale and me.  I recall the guidance and encouragement you gave me since childhood. May you rest in eternal peace with our Heavenly Father. 
For my sister’s family: Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
May you feel the Lord’s presence during this difficult time.

I attended Jones Commerical High School with her for 2 years. She was friendly and kind.  I will always remember her as being part of the class of 1976. My condolences to Davd and the family.

Rest in peace my Classmate

May Uncle David, Katy, Benji, and Jonathan find solace in the arms of the Lord knowing Aunt Lydia will be reunited with her mom, Natalia Castillo.

Kitchen Family ,
You will be in our prayers. 
Lydia was a wonderful woman of faith. She helped me so much with praying for my sister who was having a difficult time last year.  
God bless her and receive her in perfect peace.

We trust that the Lord has received her with open arms and that she now rests in His eternal peace. Her memory will live on in our hearts, and her soul will remain in the light and love of God.

We offer our prayers for her repose and ask the Lord to bring comfort and strength to the entire family in this time of grief.

May perpetual light shine upon her.
Amen.

With love,

No hay palabras suficientes ni precisas que definan este momento, por lo que lo único que puedo decir es que siento mucho la perdida de mi prima Lidia, ejemplo y pilar de su hogar y que de ahora en adelante su memoria y ejemplo sean la que prevalesca.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

This verse will always remind me  of my beautiful friend, Lydia. She was a woman of great conviction, unashamed of the gospel! She boldly share with everyone she encountered because she believed in the truth of the message and the urgency to deliver it. And she deeply loved her family. 
I will miss my dear friend. I had hoped we would enjoy another meal together under the canopy while the rain fell around us. But I know I will see her again, for I know she is with our heavenly Father, whole , without pain, forever rejoicing before our Lord and Savior Jesus!!

I first met Lydia and her family at LaGrange Christian Assembly  where we were both attending in the 1990’s.  After our regular church connection ended we remained friends and kept in touch.  I will miss our talks and her friendship but I know she’s with Jesus and we will meet again. To David, John, Benjamin, and Kathleen, I am so sorry for your loss.
Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels, nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
