Mrs L George ndotangira papiko ?
I am writing this letter to you because I know you are watching down on us , even though you are not able to respond anymore but this one is from the heart .
We shared a strong mutual love for natural hair and that ’ s how we started talking . I was that very annoying loud friend wawaiti wotarisa with half a smile ongoti hayass , and I would always say , “ Lyn anobhowa haanzwisisike kuti zvirikusekesa here oro ndikutomubhowa .” It ’ s moments like those that I look back and find myself also shaking my head ndongoti hayas . You know I was so ready to be the rich aunty to my muzukuru .
The last conversation I had with you was a prayer for my muzukuru , little did I know that was the last time I would be hearing from you . It hurts shaaa , I still can ’ t comprehend , sigh .
I can go on and on , but one thing I would like to say is THANK YOU , Thank you for being the big sister in this industry . I know ndaikutemesa musoro at times but I am grateful to have known you . Thank you , for the many links you hooked me up with . You always had your people at heart , nyangwe tambotukana you were the real definition of the bigger person . I miss you , hopefully I will be able to get used to this gap .
Nemashoma iwawa ndinoti Sleep well sis , Till we meet again .
Lynsey Lynn was more than a co-worker and a friend , she was more of a sister . A person l could share my thoughts and vision without worry of judgement and someone who would be real with me in any situation .
We met through Sean ( her husband ) l knew him before her and from then our journey began . She was a sweet , kind , caring and loving sister . We got along so well in dance circles and in life generally to the extent that we shared each others special days and moments like family events . I was there as part of her bridal team for her wedding , she was my best girl on mine . We had a lot in common l bet that ' s what kept us close .
It is with sadness that she had to go because God has his ways . l pray and hope wherever she is , she is happy and smiling whenever she looks down . Her legacy will shine on , she might have left us physically but she will always be with us spiritually , mentally and in our hearts . Because once you love someone they always stay in your heart .
- Zoe
Much love NdoMzy .
Lyn will forever be my doppelganger , a perfect mirror image and an even better true image of Christ and for whatever might have been , all that never was and all we thought we could ' ve been , knowing that you got to be in our Father ' s arms first is my solace . Thank you for being the best version of you that heaven created you to be and loving me just as I was . Rest easy red ranger the queen .

Letters to Lynsey

And Sean , His will and not ours , we stay on our knees at the foot of the cross with the hope of eternity with Christ when we all meet again .
-Deboh
Lynsey was one of the humble , warm hearted , kind and talented people I ever met . Her drive to overcome a lot of barriers to become one of the most polished , accomplished dancers and choreographers in the country will inspire generations .
It is painful that you are gone but , you are with our Lord . I will cherish these memories forever until we meet again .
From your Sheroe

She was daring and determined considering dance was predominantly a male territory . I worked with her for years and I will forever appreciate her contributions . May her legacy live . Forever missed
