I was so sorry to hear about Lynnette’s passing. She was like big sister to me when I was just in grade school. Our fathers were best friends in high school and we would often do family trips together. We bonded and agreed to be pen pals. We wrote to each other for several years until we lost touch. Then a few years ago we found each other on Facebook. I so enjoyed seeing her inspirational posts. I am so grateful she was a part of my life for much of my growing up years. It was nice to have a friend in my corner. Thanks Lynnette for being my friend.❤
