My thoughts and prayers are for you and your loved ones. I've only seen Lynette a few times since she left Michigan. But I will always remember how kind, sweet and soft spoken she was. I know she will be dearly missed, but will always be in your hearts as in mine.

Jim, I realy don't know what to say. You and the girls are in our prayers. Mom and Dad (Henry and Mary Book) send their love and want you to know that they will be praying for you also, Just hold on to all of the good times that God gave you in the short time he allowed Lynette to be with us all. I say short because she and I were both born in 1956. We had the chance to get to make momeries when we were little girls together, in Michigan. The last time I got to see her was when Uncle Owen passed. I was taking Dad and Mom to California to be with my brother Hank when he had his surgery when God called Aunt Louise home. God bless and comfort all of you.
