Lynzi loved sports, especially basketball, she loved Star Wars, loved collecting things. She took such pleasure in the small joys because many of the bigs ones we all experience she knew she might not ever have. She was one of the biggest tom boys I have ever known and her and Troy loved to play nintendo together or shoot hoops in the driveway. Lynzi adored Tatiyana and loved her as her own. Tati was only 8 months old when she died and doesn't remember her much, but oh how loved she was by my dear sweet sister. One of the last things she asked for before she went into a coma was to see and hold her "baby". What a wonderful memory for us to have of her and to tell Tati about. It is sad that my children don't know their aunt Lynzi, but we try to talk of her often and tell them about her. I know she is their guardian angel. I think Tanner must have known her in Heaven as he talks about her all the time and knows things about her that we have never told him. How sweet are these little ones so recently come from our Heavenly Fathers presence?? Lynzi always wanted a baby brother and what fun she would have had playing with Tanner. These are the things I miss, her knowing my kids and that wonderful sister relationship. I am so grateful to have had her for 19 years.
This picture was taken about a year after Lynzi died. Tatiyana is loving her picture, it is so sweet. She is looking at her with such recognistion. This bottom picture is so very special to me as it is the only picture I have been able to find with Lynzi holding Tatiyana. It was taken just a month before she died and I truly treasure it.
I love you Lynz with all my heart and we miss you so much.

I found your blog through the R House, and I really enjoy your thoughts.
Your post about your sister is beautiful. :)
I found your blog off of facebook... What a sweet post! I don't know if you heard, but our friend Chelsea (Crockett) Trujillo named one of her daughters after Lynzi. I think she was special to everyone who knew her!
