Barbara Lydick, Requiescat in Pace
In case you missed it, Barbara’s cousin Judy logged on to Ricochet today to inform us all of Barbara’s passing this past Monday.
I met her at the Cleveland airport 3 weeks ago and we had 2 good weeks to reconnect, reminisce, and to get her affairs in order. Sending a farewell on Ricochet to her chat friends was so important to her in her 2nd week here so when we pressed SEND, she was satisfied. The best part of this was that eve when we checked on line and found over 40 messages! I read them to her and we both wept as so many messages were a real inspiration to her. Thank you so much for taking some time to respond. It was a closure she needed at this juncture of her life.
Blessings to you all, her cousin, Judy
She was one of our originals with a membership dating back to the summer of 2010. As our founder Rob Long noted, “
She could be funny and was always passionate and our Member Feed will be poorer for her absence.

Barbara will be missed around here. I had no idea she was going through this.
Remember the jokes that she posted in “Bread Lines?”
We’ll miss her.
Rest in peace, Barbara.
I’m sorry to hear this. God bless her and her family.
Rest in Peace, Barbara.
Memory eternal.
I liked her.
Oh boy that is terrible news. I missed it to. Barbara was great…
I had wondered what happened to her. We are poorer for her absence. Heaven is Richer
I hadn’t seen her post or the follow-up. Thank you, EJ, for bringing it to our attention. She will be missed, as her presence was appreciated. Do you know anything about funeral arrangements?
Not yet.
