Lynn it was 2 years ago today when the Lord called you home. It has been a struggle at times for me but I do know that your spirit is with me. I think about our times together and regret not doing more visits and other things I thought we would have time to do. I miss you and love you so much. Come visit me in my dreams. I want to see your beautiful face and hear your voice.

Mom, I really miss you. I´m trying my best to be jolly and live in the moment of the holiday spirit. I´m happy with my family, my husband and my kids. My work family helps a lot. I am also very depressed at the same time. Things are so different now. Talking to you everyday is different now. I want to hear your voice. I have your voicemails but I could only listen to them once so far. I hope to have them forever. You should still be here Mom. I miss you. I love you.

Mom, the holidays are here again and it is not the same without you. I miss you so much. I miss your hugs and all of our long conversations. I want to call you so many times and ask you about a recipe for dinner. I loved hearing all the stories about your childhood growing up with your siblings and cousins and the fun you had. I´ve been listening to the KQ radio station a lot and hearing Heart and Phil Collin´s, a couple of your favorites. We all really miss you Mom. Please come to me in my dreams. I love you.

I miss you my friend. I can´t believe it´s been a year since your passing. I miss our good times getting together, going to each others houses. Going to movies. Meeting at Carbone´s. Getting together with Gaye and Denise. Always reminiscing about the old days in high school. Living in Colorado Springs. They were such good times. Love you and miss you so much

Lynn I woke up this morning feeling empty. 1 year ago getting a call to come to the hospital to say goodbye was so shocking and then the next day you were gone. I to this day am having a hard time accepting that. The why's and how's still flood my brain and my heart. I love you my sister and I am trying to accept it. I will forever love you and miss you until we meet again in heaven. Until then pop in once in a while and give me a big hug. Hugs and kisses to you everyday.

Lynn I think about you all the time but the last week has been sad for me. When I think about you it is hard for me to accept that you are not here but what gets me through that thought is that I know you are in heaven with Bobby, Sandi, Mom and Dad. I am sad that I never got to tell you all the things I wanted to say before you left. I have regrets that I didn't visit you as much as I should have. I love you so much forever and ever. Can you please reach out and hug Larry. Let him know that everything is okay and he should smile and remember the good times you had with him. He is always so sad and my heart hurts for him.

Mom, it´s been 4 months since you were taken from us. I miss you so much. I think about you everyday. Everyday I wish I could hear your voice, hug you, run my fingers through your hair... we had your Celebration of Life a week ago. It was a great turnout. Many many family members and friends showed up to celebrate you. I loved talking with your (our) cousins and hearing about your childhood with them. I have a lot of great memories with them too. And your friends the twins Gaye & Gayle, their sister Rosalyn, Cherie & Ricky, and Mary and her husband came and it was nice to see them after all these years. There are so many people that love you and cared about you, Mom. I felt your presence. I feel like you would be honored and feel celebrated. I´ll always talk to you and tell you everything, please keep listening and showing me signs and come to me in my thoughts and dreams whenever you want. I love you Mom.

Lynn, I want you to know that I am sorry we did not see each other more these past years but I do and always have loved you as a friend. We had many great years when we were younger - always doing things together - raising our kids together, Having sleep overs while having lots of fun. When ever you and I made plans to get together I was always excited to see you. I still cherish the gift you gave me years ago that states "Love finds a home in the heart of a friend". I will always keep all the memories that we have shared close to my heart. To your family I am so sorry for your loss. Also "Trigger sends his love also. Our prayers go out to your family. Love you, Cherie Belmonte

I would like to tell the story of the night I met Lyni. we (the guys that hung out with Larry ) knew she was inbound and would arrive soon. I ,being the group joker , made the remark ' she's Larry's twin sister she couldn't be THAT good looking ' , well I had to eat those words . when she came up the stairs and walked into kitchen all the other GI's crowed around her trying to talk over each other to introduce themselves. I hung back and I saw her looking over the crowd . when she saw me she got that crooked mischievous smile on her face and that was when the lightning bolt hit me right between the eyes ! I said out loud " she the prettiest girl I've ever seen"
Rest in Peace My Love

Lynn was not only my sister she was my hero. Every challenge she had in life she persevered through because the love she had for her family was much greater than any pain she endured throughout her life. I still talk to her everyday and I know she is listening because after my talks, my tears turn from grief to comfort. I will miss her so much and I thank God for his blessing of my sister Lynn. Until we see each other again you Rest In Peace sweet Angel. Love you always and forever

Auntie Lynn you will be missed. When I think of you I will remember your smile. It would light up whenever I saw you. I will remember your strength. You were challenged with health issues but your strength and fight kept you going for so many years. I will remember the love you had for your family reflecting in your beautiful eyes. I will remember the word honey, what you always called me when I saw you. The past several days I've had a chance to hear about you from my mom's eyes. You were a part of her soul and I can see the sisterly bond reflecting in her words. You will forever be remembered in the stories and memories we will continue to share in your honor. Rest easy in heaven auntie and know we love you.

My sister was the most free spirited person I have ever known always smiling and laughing and making the best out of life even with all the problems that were thrown at her she found a way to love life and live it to her fullest she had plenty of reasons to go the other way but was always on the high road never complaining about why me being her twin brother is an honor with the special bond we have as I've always said I have known him 9 months longer than any one else has and that's saying a lot we went to twins that finished each other's sentences but good sense what each other was thinking or feeling even when we were apart and that's what made our bond special and anybody who had ever had the privilege to have known her no what a kind and loving person she is. Always greeting you with a smile that would light up a room. Finding something to say that would make you smile and pick you up from being down I will always cherish the time we had together she was truly a beautiful kind free spirit in every way and will never be forgotten I love you Lynn always and forever your(twin ) brother Larry
