I was shocked to hear of your passing - we just talked a few weeks ago. You were a good friend. I am so sorry to hear this. May you RIP.

Lynn.... my cousin, my big sister, my first and always bestie..... words escape me.... We shared ups & downs, sideways and everything in-between. Joys, sorrows and more shenanigans than either of us can count. The rock to your family, offering wisdom, advice, lovely meals and a welcoming hug or smile to everyone you met. The best mom, grammy, cousin, aunt..... and to me, the best big sister. We laughed until we thought our sides would burst, shared adventures I wouldn´t trade for the world, especially the ones during which you´d utter the words "oh boy..." In years past, that would be followed by or uttered during a glass of Reunite Lambrusco (thankfully our tastes evolved.....). My heart is broken, but my strength will channel to the kids, grandkids, and all who loved you - my condolences are expressed to all who love you, and that is many..... You are now at peace and whole with the angels and always in our hearts. Keep letting us know "it´s fine"... I will be looking for a "yella winda" to look for your beautiful self as this is hard to fathom....I cannot complete what we said every time we parted with a hug or hung up the phone, so for now.... C-ya´, luv-ya´..... later.....
