To Pat and Family:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember that Lynette is absence from the body, but presence with the Lord.

I can just imagine when Lynette departed this life, her words were...For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of me departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith! Henceforth there is a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

I Love you, my Sister in Christ.
