I was so sorry to learn of Lydia's passing. I met Lydia when we worked in the E.R. at St. Elizabeth's many years ago. It seems like just the other day she told me she was retiring. We hugged and I asked her not to be a stranger and to visit us. Thank you for sharing Lydia with us. We will miss her. She was an excellent nurse and friend.

My husband and I both had the joy of working with Lydia in the ER at St. Elizabeth’s. She was so kind, and sooo incredibly thoughtful and giving. She always found time to update me on her boys as I had two boys too. Although it was short-lived before her retirement I will miss our breakroom chats. We will always remember her kindness as we look into our nursery at the incredible and unexpected gifts she gave for our baby shower. My heart and thoughts go out to her Family. She was a beautiful soul. She will be missed by many.
