Tribute to Lynne Lynne What first comes to mind is your uninhibited and contagious laugh. This will remain with us. You had such a wonderful sense of humour. We have such great memories of our intertwined lives from the time our kids were growing up together in New Plymouth, and then Melbourne, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast through to the present. We have had so many great times together. You were a true friend and a real keeper. You remained consistent, loyal and true no matter what hurdles life was throwing at us. And you handled this most recent challenge with fortitude and grace. Love you forever. PS and Dave … we have noted the selfless and devoted care you have given to Lynn throughout this trial and we love and honour you for that.

If roses grow in heaven Lord, Then please pick a bunch for us…… and give them to Joy (Lyn) Tell her they’re from her friends from the Diamond Valley Communicators. Tell her we have missed her. Thank her for her friendship, her sense of humour, Thank her for her gentle nature. Thank her for the wonderful times we shared together, Thank her for touching all our hearts. So, give her these flowers, it’s what we seek, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, Tell her they are from us, and hold her for a while, Because remembering Joy is now full of treasured memories, And it is with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes, We say goodbye to a dear friend. Lord, let us trust in your comfort; let us trust in your love. Thank you !

Joy was delightful as a long-term member of Diamond Valley Communicators. We were blessed to share her humour and good grace for eighteen years. When she moved to Queensland, she still remained a member of POWERtalk Australia. I know she was happy to be "going home" and now she has found peace. Thinking of you always, Joy. Pat C
