I have shared my story so many times through my songs, through my books, [and] through my movie. I have tried to give back to you as much as I could, even though I know I can’t,” Lynn’s statement continues. Something the star says she “could never repay you for the life and the love that you’ve given to me.”

“Thank you,” Lynn adds. “I’ve traveled all over the world, but I never got to see much, that is, except for you – my fans, my friends. I want you to know that I saw and remember every one of you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
