To Manny and David, my condolences to both of you in your time of sorrow, may your Mother memories always be with you. I am sorry I can't be with you at this time. She was a wonderful woman and had a heart of gold. She was a friend a neighbour and every one friend no matter who they were. She would laugh, cry, be sad, and be hurt, and always doing things for others. She was a person I loved with all my heart. She was there when you didn't expect it. To her family, another angel was called home, she loves her brother very much and sister's. Her family meant everything to her. She always talks about them. She also loved the Medeiros's side of the family she was proud of her husband's side of the family too. As we grew up she was like a second mother, Aunt, Grandmother, to everyone. When I asked her to become my Godmother, I was so proud to have her as my Godmother and her husband as my Godfather. Words can't say how we feel or how we are hurting. May God hold her in his arms and hug her and tell her we loved her and will miss her. To each and everyone who knew Lidia as a person and as a family member, may her memories always be with each and every one of you and may they never be forgotten. I say goodbye to this person Lidia Medeiros as my Godmother, an Aunt. a fr9end, a Mother to everyone that knew her may she RIP. May God be with you all in your time of sorrow.
