In recognition of an outstanding and inspirational Yoga teacher, who possessed an intuitive understanding of the needs and capacities of each student. After every session of Yoga we felt calmer, cared for and uplifted. Dear Lidia was one of those rare souls who lived Yoga at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels, sowing many seeds of hope and encouragement along the way... She was much loved, by many people, and deeply missed by us all.

Lidia was a wonderful person to share my life with, each day was full of light and love. Lidia received a lot of support and advice from Pancreatic Cancer UK, so would be thrilled that we are able to help other sufferers through this fundraising initiative.

We loved Lidia very much and miss her. Such a ray of sunshine.

Lidia was a wonderful person and teacher. She is constantly in my thoughts and definitely much missed. Thank you James for doing your mother proud.

Good luck James. Such a special thing to do in memory of your beautiful mother.

Lidia was the most wonderful and caring friend and teacher. We are blessed to have known her and we miss her very much. What a lovely way to remember her, enjoy the skydive James!!

We know how close you were. Wishing you well .

James.... you're great!.....a crazy brave thing to do in memory of a vibrant, positive, life-loving, God-fearing, very brave lady. Good luck with the fund raising and enjoy the jump!!

For a lovely mother-in-law, who so bravely battled pancreatic cancer. Lidia was a wonderful, caring person who always thought about others and supported many charities, so she would be proud. Let's do our best to exceed the target and raise money for research and resources that could help others in the future.

Dear Lidia, Thank you for our shared hours, days and even weeks exploring, studying, practicing, drinking coffee and laughing on our yoga journey. Miss you. Love you.

For a truly special mother, with me now and always

For my friend Lidia who I miss very much. I got to know Lidia in India and we kept in touch. She was the friend you could trust and confide in, in a way that was straighforward and without judgement. She was caring and considerate of others and would also look for the postive. Family meant the world to her and I can see her now laughing and glowing with pride for Barry, James and Marie-anne.

Good luck James raising funds in memory of such a lovely lady for a cause which is close to my heart, too. Don't forget to pull the cord!

Good luck James. I hope it goes well. A worthy cause in memory of a lovely lady.x

For a wonderful mother and beautiful person who had so much positive energy, kindness and joy. Let's keep raising awareness so that others will benefit from the work this fantastic charity does for people with Pancreatic Cancer.

Lidia was wonderfully positive and a truly admirable lady. Good luck raising funds for such a worthy cause!

Lydia was such a lovely friend to so many. She will be remembered with love. David and Frances

Remembering Lidia, such a cheerful and kind friend who we miss. Good luck with the parachute jump and raising funds for such a worthy cause!

Lidia's gentle voice, warm smile and inner strength were some of the many wonderful qualities we remember about her. Barry and family, continue to take comfort in knowing that Lidia's life made a positive impact on so many. It is wonderful for James to remember Lidia this way, and in doing so, to positively impact the lives of many more in her memory. Have a great jump James!

I think this is great thing you're doing in Lidia's memory. Although I didn't know her well, I do remember how friendly she was when I chatted to her at the coffee morning after St John's church. Your brave effort will directly help other families. Thank you!

I was very fond of Lidia. My husband died of Pancreatic cancer in 1989, aged just 51

Enjoy the view while it lasts, James! This is a really worthwhile fundraiser in memory of a wonderful lady I was privileged to have known.

Dear Lidia, I will always remember your loving and gentle nature. Blessed to have known you. Love and miss you, Jenni x

Hope all goes well for you in this adventure!

Good Luck James

In memory of a lovely fountain! Lidia was always bright and flowing. Like the fountain she was bubbling with energy and enthusiasm for life. She radiated joy and goodness, and like splashes of water, her seeds of love nourished many, both near and far. Surely her beautiful spirit will shine forever as a bright star in the night sky! water droplets from the fountain

I have such fond memories of lovely chats with Lidia after church whilst I was growing up. A gorgeous lady from a lovely family who is very much missed. And a fantastic cause to support. Best of luck James! X
