Short,
Lydia N.
(nee Oprouseck) on December 29, 2011 of Stratford, NJ. Age 60 years. Beloved wife of James Short. Devoted mother of Renee Heller and her husband John.

If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again No Farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before I knew it And only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now I know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten I pledge to you today A hallowed place within my heart Is where you'll always stay.
God knows why, with chilling touch, Death gathers those we love so much, And what now seems so strange and dim, Will all be clear, when we meet Him.

Lydia always had a funny story and a smile for everyone she met. I have a funny story about Lydia. When she and Jimmy got married I stayed over their place. We were hungry. Lydia said she would make grilled cheese sandwiches. She took out her toaster, placed the bread in to toast it, she then took it out, added a little butter and added then cheese. Then she put the sandwich together, smooched it a little and put it back into the toaster to melt. I couldn't belive it and I asked her wasn't she afraid that the toaster might catch fire? She smiled that smile and said I always did it that way! She was unique!! And she will be terribly missed. Peace and Love Marie

Lydia was a patient at our office and I always looked forward to seeing her. I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. We used to chat about our families and grandbabies. She always had a bright beautiful smile, even when things were difficult for her. She was an amazing, strong,and beautiful person. I feel fortunate to have known her and am very sorry for your loss. She will truly be missed.
Sincerely,
Kris
