Di Rezze-Malfara Family: As we all age we often reflect on our past. When I do, I remember the amazing Di Rezze Family and what they meant to our little Richmond Hill/St. Joseph, Our Lady Queen of the World communities.
Lidia was that ray of sunshine in her family. From our dancing days (where her brother was a DJ) to playing tag football, to the long walks to get to one another’s homes, Paliser Cres to Briggs, to sitting in the Di Rezze kitchen, to times just hanging out. These moments created the jewels of our childhood.
Lidia brought this forward in to her adult years. Her connection with her family and friends are blessings and inspirations. Lidia will be greatly missed, but her smile, sense of humour and laughter will remain forever. A beautiful woman who will always be remembered and treasured. Thank you Lidia.
To the whole DiRezze family, we are so saddened to hear of the passing of your dear daughter, wife, aunt and friend and send our deepest condolences. We have you in our prayers and am so sorry we were unable to attend the funeral arrangements as we were out of town.
