Special Remembrances from Lynnette’s Mother:
Our precious Lynnette, though sometimes sassy or stubborn, more often than not, could be described as a walking, breathing example of unconditional love.
Though she had many activities that she loved & succeeded in doing, i.e., beautiful cross-stitch pieces, bead necklaces & bracelets enhanced with her kind thoughts, varying special olympics sports through the years in which she medaled such as bowling, swimming, basketball, gymnastics, & figure skating – her greatest gift was how she loved people of all races, temperaments, & personalities. Even when breathing was not an unconscious body function but required painful effort, her final words sincerely, softly whispered to her mother were, “I love you.”
May she rest completely restored in the arms of Christ Jesus whose very NAME and BEING is LOVE.
