88-year-old woman skydives to honor her son
After losing her son in 1979, Bernadette Fife, an 88-year-old Kentucky woman, went skydiving in his memory.
Bobby Lynch, Fife’s son, was killed in a car accident in 1979 and this May would have marked six decades of his life. Fife’s son Jim commented, “I mean he's up there now and we're going to get closer to him when we jump.”
Regarding Bobby’s passing, Fife stated “We miss him. We think of him every day. He was 16-years-old. Just at the prime of getting ready to live life.” The 10-thousand foot plunge was a reminder to soak up each second of life that has been given to you.
