On the 29th anniversary of Twitty’s death, Lynn fondly remembered Twitty in a post on social media.
Lynn’s husband, Oliver “Doolittle” Lynn, was sick and in the same hospital as Twitty on the day he died. So Lynn was also in the hospital when Twitty passed away:
“I was there on this day in 1993 when we lost him,” Lynn recalled. “Doo and I were heartbroken. So heartbroken.”

Lynn, who is now 90 years old, said Twitty’s loss “didn’t seem real.” She also shared that she still misses him terribly:
“I still miss him,” she wrote. “What I wouldn’t give to sing with him one more time. He was like a brother to me and a girl couldn’t have ask for a better friend. We made some great music and some great memories.“
You can read Lynn’s sweet tribute to Twitty below. He is so dearly missed.
