Aunt Lynne was one of the sweetest people I knew. I always enjoyed spending time with her; she always had a big happy smile on her face, and had a soft, kind voice. It has been a long time since I’ve seen or spoken to her. I was already missing her, and I will continue to miss her.
My sincerest condolences to her immediate family. I hope you all are well.
