Yesterday

I have such fond memories of Lyn during my childhood as Andrea was one of my dearest friends (and still is).

Lyn always made me feel welcomed. She was like a hot cup of cocoa-warm, soothing, familiar; wrapping me in comfort and care, like a second mum whose presence made everything feel safe and gently cherished.

Thank you Lyn for being in my life and making a positive impact on those who were lucky enough to have met you.

Sending all my love to Tony, Shelley and Andrea. I know this has happened awfully fast and will take time to process. Please know we are here to support and walk beside you.

Love, Maddy Saxton (nee Lethaby)

I spent a lot of time with Lynette & Delwyn at their home on Hunter Road as a child, they were like a second family to me. I cannot believe she has been taken so soon. RIP with the Lord and you will be with Mum & Dad again. So sorry for your loss Tony, Shelley and Andrea. Our thoughts and love are with you all

Yesterday

Many memories for me especially of Lynette. Mainly our first overseas cruise when we left work at the Power Board in Eltham. Then when her waters broke at our place in UH and Tony had a fast drive back to Wanganui before Shelley was born. Lyn will always be remembered by Dave and me.
Sending hugs and love to all family members. I know Lyn will be missed so much. RIP dear friend.
