Lyna was my best friend and I loved her unconditionally. She will be missed deeply but now she has earned her wings and flying high in the heavens with her Phoenix and Tigger and my Chloe too. I have so many pictures of our adventures but these are just a couple of them. My prayers go out to her family and friends.

Lyna was always special to me. I will always cherish the memories I have of her and will remember her as a loving mother, grandmother and sis-in-law.
