Mom was an inspiration to many, mother of three children, wife of 61 years with her husband Antonio. Lydia was loyal, faithful, funny, and full of life regardless of her personal pain. They called her La Prieta but she was the brightest light in the room. She made the best hot sauce around but kept her recipe a secret. The one secret she never kept was showing her kindness, love, and compassion to others. She will be missed on earth but reunited with her mom in heaven.
