This week our Show and Tell is about a person who has been an important part of our life, but they cannot be in our family.
I choose Lynne Bondi.
Lynne was my cheer coach and English teacher in high school and now she is a very dear friend of mine. We have shared so many memories...happy and sad. I remember when I started cheer she had us all in her classroom that morning to celebrate. We practiced through out the summer and shared many laughs. Lynne's mother passed away the first summer of cheer and all of us cheerleaders planted a tree at the school in memory of her mom. We also got to share the fun memory of Lynne and Bill getting married. Shortly after that I was able to share the memories of Brooke and Tatum being born. While Lynne was still teaching I worked for her husband as his secretary. Then I was able to train Lynne when she finished her last year of teaching...let me tell you...we are quite silly when we work together. Wednesday's were our work for a bit, then go to the mall days. Every week we had a routine and it was so much fun. Lynne has been able to share my memories with me as well...My bachelorette party, my wedding and Morgan being born. In November of 2007 I walked the 3-day, 60 mile Breast Cancer walk in remembrance of Lynne's mom. On the third day all of my family and friends came up and Lynne was there. That is the picture above. I raised 2500.00 and I am planning on doing it again next year. Lynne and I will always stay close, as our friendship grows each year and our families share laughs and good times! Lynne you are the greatest! I love you!
