I am a former colleague of Lydia’s from her Sun Microsystems days. I am in Australia but we kept in touch for a long time after we left Sun. Something reminded me of her so I looked her up and so sad to hear of her passing.

She was very kind to me and we had many good times when I visited for work trips including spending a weekend in San Francisco. A big warm funny personality Lydia and I will miss you.

My love and best wishes to her family.

I received the TCNJ Alumni magazine on 6/9/20 and saw that Lydia had passed away. As a fellow business major at TSC we had classes together. She was a very nice person. I wish that my circumstances at the time were different so I could have got to know her better. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Gerri and Mom,

So sorry to hear of Lydia's passing but it does seem to be a blessing for her. Hard for you both. I hope you have lots of great memories from earlier times to comfort you at this difficult time.

It was a real surprise and so nice to see you both at the Christmas concert and Cantata.

You have been in my thoughts and prayers and was deleteing e-mails and saw the announcement. Hope you will still get this!

Love,

Cindi

I was privileged to work with Lydia over the years. She touched all of us with her compassion, strength and inner light, and is immensely missed by her friends and colleagues.

In the weeks following your passing Lydia ,I am still having a difficult time that you are no longer here with us . In reading many of your colleagues comments, it warms my heart to know how much you were loved .

Your kindness ,caring nature and smart advise are just a of the few things that I will deeply miss .

❤️Love you Booglet

Sending my deepest condolences to Lydia's family. I knew her through working with her at NetApp. She was a smart and an amazing woman and will be greatly missed. Prayers to her family and friends.

Lydia was a strong and caring person. I worked with her for a couple years and always knew that I could count on her to help me. She was straight-forward, kind-hearted and a force to be reckoned with! She was a pleasure to be around and will be sorely missed. I pray for her family, that they feel peace during this time of grief and hold on to the sweet memories of Lydia.

Lydia was such a wonderful colleague and friend. I will miss her dearly. I am so grateful for all she did for me over the years. She was so thoughtful, caring and supportive. Sending prayers and my deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Deepest condolences to Lydia's family and friends. I knew Lydia through NetApp. The interactions I had with Lydia over the years were memorable and she will be missed. God bless and may her soul rest in peace.

One of my favorite people. So many wonderful memories. She was like a second mother.. I will miss you so much Aunt Lydia.

Oh the magic of Lydia. Be it the lady who stopped to pick up coffee for a sick friend or the knowledgable career gal who expertly introduced us to websites . She was the lady who was never afraid to tell you exactly what she thought. People, places and things make up our lives. Sitting with Lydia as she inadvertently curled her hair . Those fingers spinning strands of gold. Yes I shall miss her for she was magic.

I will miss Lydia terribly. We started as co-workers 10 years ago when I joined NetApp and quickly became friends. She showed me the ropes at NetApp and introduced me to the restaurant, DishDash, where she and I got to catch up on each others lives each time we traveled to Sunnyvale, CA for work. She supported me through my cancer journey and I hope I was able to pay back just a bit of what she gave me. She was loved and admired at NetApp and will be missed by her co-workers, who all call her a friend. Rest in peace, my friend.

My dear dear friend..we will miss you, your sense of humor, your adventuresome spirit, your kindness and your presence. Thirty five years of friendship was not enough !!!

Gerri,

I am sorry to hear of Lydia’s death. You and your family will be in my prayers.

To my fellow Diva - I will miss you and the great times we had at our Diva celebrations. Remembering our Camino always brings a smile to my face. I'm so glad you suggested it! Fun times.

I'm very sad to hear of Lydia's passing. She was a wonderful person and an awesome co-worker. She will be greatly missed by many. My condolences to her family and friends.

What sad news of Lydia’s death. I worked with her at NetApp and got to enjoy what a caring and fun co-worker she was. Lydia always managed to mix great work with good relationships. My thoughts are with her family.

I am so saddened to hear of Lydia’s passing. We were teammates for a number of years at NetApp and it was wonderful getting to know her. I always looked forward to when we could get together. Lydia was a special person. My thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to her family.

Devastating news to hear of the passing of Lydia. She was a really caring and wonderful person. We worked together at NetApp for several years and she was always willing to help out others and cared so much about her coworkers.

To her family and friends, my deepest condolences. May you rest in peace Lydia. You will be missed greatly.

My heart is broken at the loss of a very dear friend as well as a business partner I have known at NetApp for the past 12 years. We sat next to one another for 7 years, shared stories, memories, vacation destinations, happy times, laughter and business challenges.. most importantly friendship.

My love to the family, she was so special and so loved!
