A mis 3 años viajamos desde Argentina con mis padres y hermana a vivir en USA y a  San Gabriel.   Según la "leyenda", haciendo compras en un supermercado, yo, pequeñita como era y sin saber nada de inglés, le pregunté a mi madre si podía comprarme unas galletas de chocolate que había visto, y cerca estaba Lydda haciendo sus compras,  me escuchó y se acercó a mi madre a conversar, allí nació una amistad maravillosa, Lydda y toda la familia Zorrilla fueron mi familia en mi primera infancia, compartiendo todos los cumpleaños y fiestas, las Navidades con ellos eran inolvidables. Buen viaje querida Lydda y que sigas brillando junto a Orlando y  a mis queridos padres, siempre estarás en mi memoria y en mi corazón. GLORIA 

My family and I lived in San Gabriel for a few years during my childhood (over 50 years ago!) and my mother and Lydda became very close friends. They were both homesick (Lydda missed Peru, my mother missed Argentina). Lydda has always had a special place in my heart and I have never forgotten her. She was a very important part of my growing up years and I remember her warmth, her laughter full of mischief and her generous and loving heart. The Easter egg hunts in her garden where the hydrangeas bloomed, the picnics in the mountains, the trips to ‘Marineland’, the ‘ceviche’ supper gatherings. Christmases with us girls (Lili, my sister Gloria and me) wearing matching red velvet dresses trimmed in white lace made by Nene, Lydda’s mama. Her endless chats with my mother. They used to collect us all from school and stop at a corner to chat before each going in their own direction. One neighbour got so tired of them chatting for so long outside her house that she turned on the lawn sprinklers and drenched us all! Lydda will never be forgotten. She will always live on in my heart and her memory will always make me smile. Goodbye dear Lydda. Until we meet again. May God hold you in His hand and may you laugh with those you loved who went before you. Enjoy eternity!
