RIP – Lydia. I’m so sorry to hear about Lydia’s passing. I had the privilege of meeting Lydia back in the 80’s when she and George Sr. opened up there home to me and George Jr. during our spring break trip to Texas. She was a wonderful person with a big heart. I feel that it was a privilege and honor to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. God bless you all.
