Lynne passed away suddenly February 17, 2026, aged 63. Loved sister, mother, mother-in-law, nanna, friend, work colleague, church member and loved by all those she nursed and counselled. You touched the lives of many. We Love You and Miss You so much, gone too soon but glad your suffering is no more. Gone but will never be forgotten, this is not goodbye but just until we meet again.
