    I am so sorry to read about your loss with Lynne’s passing. I have not seen Lynn since JR High- as my family moved away at the end of ninth grade. I lived only a block away from her- and know she was a champion tree climber and kick the can player. I bet she was a wonderful nurse, friend, daughter, sister, mom and wife. May you all find peace, joy and comfort in your memories of her.
