Trisha Ann (Bosman) Zylstra, age 31, and her infant son, Fletcher Paul Zylstra, died suddenly Monday, April 2, 2007 at St. Joseph Hospital. Born Aug. 29, 1975, as a twin with Trent, to Terry and Norma (Bos) Bosman in Bellingham, Trisha was a 1994 Lynden High School graduate. She married Tim Zylstra Oct. 6, 2001 in Lynden. Her greatest love was for her family and home as she joyfully anticipated Fletcher’s birth and cherished the thought of his joining twins, Dexter and Ruby, in their home. Trisha’s free-spirited heart was evidenced by her appreciation for flowers, music and the simple things in life. She loved flowers and worked side-by-side with her mom, Norma, at Cottage Flowers for five years. Trisha attended Third Christian Reformed Church in Lynden. Her loving heart will be missed by all who knew her.

Alright, I have a lump in my throat and I have never even met lovely Trisha before. I will keep praying for this family. It must be so hard to think about raising two little ones without their mommy.
