To Lynette’s family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Lynette’s passing. Over the last few years, I was fortunate to know Lynette as a truly special friend. Her warmth, laughter, and kindness touched my life in so many ways, and I will deeply miss her presence and friendship.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Lynette’s memory will always remain close to the hearts of many, and I hope that you find comfort in knowing how much she was loved and appreciated by those around her.
With deepest sympathy,
Trish Heveldt
