Met Lynn at Edison school. We were in the same kindergarten class and lived half a block away from each other, Lynn at the corner of First street and me on Paisley St. Her birthday followed mine in February. I´ve thought about her often.
My condolences to Mike and the family. God´s grace and blessings to you.
