Shared by her family at Lynne's Celebration Of Life:
Forever In Your Heart
Feel no guilt in laughter, She knows how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever, She would not want you to.
She'd hope that you would carry on the way you always do.
So talk about the good times, And the ways you showed you cared.
The days you spent together, All the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, A word someone might say
will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she was still here
And fills you with the feelings that say she's always near.
For if you keep those moments, You will never be apart
And they will live forever, safely locked within your heart

Kindergarten brought us together. Scouting, sports, choir and our little folk singing group kept us together throughout school. We were close then and as adults, we grew even closer. You will be missed, my sister, my dear friend, you will be missed.
