I don’t even know where to begin—there’s no guidebook for the kind of grief that blindsides you when a sweet piece of your family is suddenly gone. My dear cousin Lynee… I still see you as a little toddler in that red velvet dress with shiny black patent leather shoes, your head full of dark ringlet curls. You were such a beautiful little light. Sandy and I were always together growing up until high school pulled us in different directions, but as the oldest cousins on the Albert side, we had our fair share of babysitting duty. So many memories flood back—sliding down the stairs on Lynne’s crib mattress, me, Sandy, and Caren getting into mischief while watching over Kimmy and Lynee on Somerset Street. Later in life, Lynee shared a close friendship with my brother Timmy, and I find peace imagining them reunited now in Heaven. She always asked about my mom, her beloved Aunt Anne, and I’ll never forget how she’d stop and chat on Halloween or wave with that big smile during her neighborhood walks. She never spoke a negative word—she was always doing for others, always a port in the storm. Lynee had the gentlest soul—generous, kind, never judging, always loving. I know Jesus opened those pearly gates wide for her. Today, as we send you off with all our love, walk the Heavens with your dad, dear Uncle Ed. Take in all the beauty and peace that Jesus promises. Lynee, you were one of a kind, and you’ll forever be in my heart.

Lynee is such a big part of my happy childhood…she was the cousin that was in between myself and my sister in age and we shared so many memories over our grandparents house in NJ… playing Barbie’s for hours, being silly and laughing uncontrollably, tape recording us being incredibly silly, swimming in our pool. Every summer we would alternate visits- one year she would come spend a week with us, the next year my sister tracy and I would spend a week in Philly.. she showed us city life- walking on our own to the city pool and corner store, getting her dad(Uncle Ed) whatever he needed... I loved those weeks with her and the family. We grew apart as we got older, but the love and memories will always be in my heart. She will be missed but will live on through her beautiful daughters and family… rest in peace, Lynee…May you find peace❤️
