We received a long email from a young sister in the Lord today. Some excerpts,

“Ever since i came to know Lydia she has been the biggest part of my life. God is so amazing with how he shined through her life. Lydia completely changed the way i thought, the way i act, and my spiritual life.

Lydia will stay with me for the rest of the life God gives me.”

“everytime i hear the song amazing grace, whether its at school or at church, or where ever, there are tears streaming down my face sometimes sad tears and sometime happy tears. i never really thought of that song in such a spectacular way before just because it was so common. but ever since i went to Lydia's funeral that song has a whole new meaning to it.”

Wow, isn’t it amazing? Thank you for the great comfort you brought to us.

Mom took Deborah and Priscilla to decorate Lydia’s gravesite with new flowers and a lot of red colors. The sisters used to take care of each other well. Now, they can take care their sister’s burial place. They were around Lydia’s site for a long time, and not willing to leave. That simply made mom feel sad and very difficult.
