Wayne, Jay, Mark and Lynn,
Thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.... so many wonderful memories from our childhood on Pamela Drive in which your mom figures prominently. I know she is reunited with your dad now, and perhaps they are sharing a cold one with mine !
With Love and Sympathy

We regret we never met your mom, Lynnie, but knowing you, she had to have been one special woman. And what a full and interesting life she had.

Know that we are keeping you close in our hearts and prayers. Love you.

I loved meeting your mom when she accompanied you on your trip with Wayne to Woodland Hills. She really seemed to enjoy the garden. When we rejoined her, I found out that she had discovered the outline of the Madonna in the bark of our alder tree. It was quite easy to see once she pointed it out to me. I remember thinking, "this lady sees things in the everyday that escape the rest of us." Very sweet soul. I hope she is having a good time wherever she is.
