Everybody loved her and I was glad to see that I wasn’t the only one coming up to her,” Fredericks said.“I always dreaded something like this happening and so I brought her flashlights on a couple of occasions so she could be seen,” he said.“I asked her, Lydia, are you an angel? And then I asked her what’s your secret and she kind of smiled at me,” Fredericks said.“Words are just words, but words are words when they’re put into action,” Fredericks said.
