To uncle Rene and cousins Laura and Paul , Just wanted to let you know that I am deeply saddened by the death of our lovely Titi Lydia. Although we seldom saw each other, she would always call to see how "tavios" girls we're doing. She will be greatly missed and will always be remembered as a great mom, wife and sister. She was truly a fun and loving person. God bless you all and remember that your cousins in Puerto Rico are here for you during this difficult time.

I loved growing up next door the Ortiz Family. I especially loved being in my backyard and smelling Lydia's wonderful Puerto Rican food cooking and her infectious laugh wafting through the air! You will be greatly missed Lydia! Xoxo Taran

Dear Laura and family, I had the pleasure of working with Lydia for years in the transport dept. at St. Peters before she retired. What a wonderful, loving person she was. I have thought very fondly of her over the years and even stopped by the house in Sayreville once, only to find she had moved. I remember when you worked there also Laura as a unit secretary and I had the pleasure of meeting you too. Lydia was always so proud of her family and spoke of you all often. I am so glad that her children blessed her with so many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She must have been a very happy lady. My sincere condolences to all of you. God has another angel.

My prayers to Lydia's familia n friends and always remember her smile and great laughter..I had the pleasure of meeting her at St. Peters Hospital and what a joy she was..Rest Now Lydia and Blessings to all..
