There isn’t a week that goes by that I don’t think of you and wish you were here to give me advice or to see how much better my life turned out than I could have ever imagined. You always believed in me and gave it to me straight. I found it hard to trust anyone but you were honest and never made promises you couldn’t keep. You were the hand up I needed and I hope I’ve made you proud by taking full advantage of all the opportunities you gave me and making a good life for myself. - Posted by: A.

I met Lynn in the late 80's and spent a fair amount of time with her over a period of years in our "youth". I was a good bit younger than her and she treated me like a little brother. In fact I'm sure she even referred to me as such and I certainly looked up to her. An infectious smile, warm heart and a powerful drive matched by no other. Though our lives went separate ways, Lynn left permanent impressions with me that I've never forgotten. Rest in Peace, Lynn. See you on the other side. - Posted by: K.H (friend) on: May 09, 2015

Lynn and I met as I was leaving the military, we had something special for sometime but had decided to move on in our separate ways, I often thought about her through the years. I only just found out that she had passed, sleep well Lynn be at peace. - Posted by: stuart affleck (ex-boyfreind) on: Nov 26, 2013
