Caroline you were one of my favourite friends. And your father was always kind to us growing up. I lost track of her years ago and I’m sorry for your loss. Please take care, Louise Schoenthal

Carolyn and Calvin:

This is such a sad day to see the end of an era, however it is also a day of celebration for a life that could not have been more full on this earth. Aunt Lydia was a true Matriarch of the Meyer clan and it is only appropriate that she waited for all of Her Siblings to precede her to their final resting place. She was definitely a great part of our happy lives out at the lake as we grew up.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Respectfully,
Craig and Sue M.

1992 08 02 - Lydia and Harold's 50th wedding anniversary at Wascana Park

Lydia working hard in the fields with her sister Winnie.

~1940? I vividly remember as a 6-year-old thinking Autie Lydia had the best purses ever! I remember her catching me playing with one in her house in Regina and I thought I was going to be in so much trouble, but she just started playing right along with me.

Dear Carolyn and Calvin,

I have many wonderful memories of Aunt Lydia as she was so considerate to our family during Dolores's illness. I also remember how well she took care of the family home. 
Carolyn, do you remember the time, back in the mid 70's during a rare visit from Betty and Don Ryan with Colleen and Danny? Us girl cousins were alone at the house, singing  and play acting when someone opened the fridge door too wide, too quickly and a dozen eggs fell onto the floor.  Egg everywhere. We carefully cleaned it up, thinking we had done such a great job that Aunt Lydia wouldn't even notice. As soon as she walked into the door she took one look at the floor and exclaimed  "What happened with the eggs?"
Still to this day, I have no idea how she knew :)

She was quick with a warm smile, and laughter. And an excellent memory always remembering and enquiring into her last few years about myself, Jim and Rob.  

The 3 of us send our warmest regards to you and Calvin and families for your loss.

To Caroline and family, Calvin and family, and the countless relatives and friends of Lydia.

There are too many treasured memories to count.  Lydia's capacity for love and service were awesome.  My earliest memory is of their wedding: Lydia was radiant.  As a nephew growing up in the same town, I really felt like their surrogate son,  given the time and attention they gave me.  I remember well their first home...that little third floor apartment.  I can still taste Lydia's delicious cabbage rolls made in her tiny kitchen.  Harold and Lydia took me on holidays with them when I was 12 and gave me a roll of garlic sausage for my birthday because they knew how much I hated garlic sausage!  We had so much fun.  Our marvelous relationship continued throughout her long, productive life.  Shirley and I will treasure all our memories of this beautiful Christian auntie.  

We extend our deepest sympathy to Caroline and Calvin and all who mourn her passing.  May she rest in peace with her Savior, Jesus.  Love....Bob and Shirley Zimmer

Hello Cal and Carolyn and Families,

Lydia was such a special person. I remember meeting her with your dad during my first, Weisbrot Christmas gathering in December 1971 at 37 Darke Cres. (I had just begun dating Dale.) Both of your parents were so warm and welcoming and I was immediately put at ease, especially knowing that they had farming connections. 😉I also remember the great meals that Lydia would prepare for her guests at their Queen Street home. Lydia was a great hostess and it was always a pleasure to be with them.

May they be together now and having a great chat, getting caught up on all the news of the last part of her 103 years - amazing!🙏🙂💕

Aunt Lydia and Uncle Harold Harlos looked after me when I was about two years old. They gave me the nick name of "Chatterbox". Aunt Lydia also taught me the fine points of "How to iron properly!" To this day, I still enjoy ironing. Aunt Lydia was the last of a very special family where one could alway find love, advise, understanding, and great food. We shall miss this dear lady, but know because of her faith she is at peace with Jesus.
