I remember how special her cats were to her as they were to me.  In fact, I became a part of her life because her two cats, Tigger and Polo, that she had at the time we met, approved of me.  Ever since then we have had other cats who were special, and I am now left with two cats, Muffin and Max, of which Max was her special cat after we had lost another cat, Misty, who was definitely Lydia's cat.  Max tried to climb up to where I keep the urn with Lydia's ashes when I brought it home.  I now have a special place where I keep the urn along with pictures of Lydia, provided by my and her friend Carrie Radnov at the memorial service the south county toastmasters club held for her with Carrie graciously handling the setup and catering of.  Max occassionaly tries to climb up there at times still.  I do hope her spirit is at peace and that she follows and helps me throughout the rest of my life.

She almost went to law school.  She would have been a great lawyer.

Lydia, my wonderful Angel,  was my solemate and the love of my life.  She had an indomitable spirit and a love of life.  There was nothing I would not do for her.  I meet her when she was working as a medical technologist in a hospital laboratory.  We immediately hit it off with each other and her cats, Polo and Tigger, approved of me.  She later worked as a paralegal where she was as good at her job as she was at eveything she did.  She was a crafter, quilter, knitter, fabric painter, and a toastmaster where she earned the distinquished honor of becoming a Distinquished Toastmaster (DTM).  She pursued all of her interests with zeal and determination and was very accomplished in all that she did.  She was the most wonderful wife to me, and I will always miss her terribly.  This site is a tribute to her.
