I’m so sorry for the family’s loss. Lynn is dancing in heaven i believe
So sorry for your loss! Grew up next door to Lynn, shared many talks on the front porch of her house. She was always positive and would smile and laugh even though we were told of her pain and many surgeries. I know you are running in Heaven,. Love Carl!
Patty, My heart aches for you and your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. I will always remember the smile she always had on her face, at the Boar’s head festival or at Ewing park. She light up my heart and the church with her smile and personality. This place will be a little less bright without her light. As hard as it may be we will try to rejoice for our loss is Heaven’s gain.
Pat and Jane, I am so sorry to hear of Lynn’s passing. Despite her disability, Lynn lived her life to the fullest travelling and her many interests. Always had a smile on her face and that positive attitude. Keep all those good memories close.
Pat, Janie & Families, Jim & I are so sorry to hear about Lynnie. We are unable to be with you on Tues., but know we will hold Lynnie in our hearts forever. Her smile is now lighting up the stars. God Bless.
