  1. I first met Ms. Lydia in 2012 when she came to me for help with her benefits because she was about to turn 65. I met with or spoke to Ms. Lydia at least once a year after that, the last time being in February of last year. Though we were meeting about her benefits I got to know Ms. Lydia and she was always, sweet, kind and gracious. She also loved her family and often doted on them. I am praying for peace and comfort but also that they will have fond memories of the time they had. I know she will be missed. I will miss our yearly conversations.

  2. Dear Ryan and Family – I give you my sincere condolences for the passing of your Mom. May you keep her spirit alive in your hearts and you will be fine. Please take good care with hugs, your friend Ryan, Christina “Beana” Farrell

  3. Dear Ryan and family, Aaron and family, I am praying for you y’all . It has been too many years. I know you have lost your grand parents, now your mother. I don’t know if Alan is still in your life after he stole my family from me. The whole truth has never come out. I am not the terrible person your mother made me out to be. I can only pray at this time that you will accept my love for all of you and seek me out to know the truth. your loving father,Ron Combs. 806 559 0585. 2318 16th st Lubbock texas 79401.
