"?To my Tia Lydia & family,, my beloved memories with you Tia Lydia & who you are to me all the years of my life are blessings to my whole being, my soul, my Spirit, my memories & heart & several times my stomach because you'd ask me what i wanted you to fix for me. And it was always the first dish you ever cooked for me which I had NEVER had before & savored & loved it being prepared by you from that day forward. ?Not one bad memory do I have with you Tia, whether it was in TX, AZ or CA.
