Dear Lynch Family, 7 Years later, I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was a freshman at BHS when I got the horrific news. I didn't know your daughter very well, but I released a written statement afterwards saying she had a bright future ahead of her. Your daughter is still missed.

Dear Peggy and Mike, I continue to pray for you.....for God to give you the strength you need to get thru another day, that soon you will be able to smile just a little bit each day, and that someday the smiles will come more often than the tears. This tragedy is an enourmous burden for you to carry and no words can ever ease your pain but may my prayers and the prayers of thousands of others, help you and your family in some small way.

Hey Lynch Family..
Hang in there, you will get through this. I wrote you a poem about how great a person Maggie was. Also I'm glad I got to know her.
You always had the biggest smile on your face. You had the most beautiful way of making people laugh. I will never forget the memories we had so many took place. You we're going down the right path. Maggie you're never going to be gone. Even though the days seem long without you.I wish everyone got to know you like I did. You we're an amazing kid. You gave everyone a hug when they needed one. I just wish I could have giving you one before you went . This is not good bye someday we'll see each other again you'll always be a part of me Maggie. We miss you and We love you. So I hope the angels lead you in the right light. You're my shinning star when I look to the bright sky. So someday Maggie I will see you again.Thank you for everything. You were a special part of me and always will be. We miss you Maggie and We love you always & forever<33

For Maggie Lynch and her precious family the gift of your life will forever shine upon us and guide us to remember to use our humor, our lighthearted nature and the preciousness of each and every moment.
A poem I wrote for 911 adapted for you.
Thank you dear one for my life
for breathing, for being able to love,
for letting me play with my friends
for hugs, for food, for sharing
for my family, those who chose me and those I chose
for my heart
the special rare looking glass I have
to feel people, to see love, beauty and truth
thank you for carrying our Maggie home
and for waking up the sleeping ones
for the pain it took to open us up
to the flower blossom within
My greiving wish is for strength
to see more every moment
to feel the wind and hear the song
of the stars and sky
for magic to be ordinary
for grace to polish and shine each of us
in safety and trust to no longer fear our light
and each other
for glory to rejoice and rekindle our fire, royally
highest majesty to fulfill our wingspan
and know true greatness
fairy slippers to ground our fortunes in vulnerability
for the power to let go of our pasts
in the faith of our oneness
Our universal hearts
beating, ringing, singing
loving so fully
the thunder of the silence
powerfully
simply
freeing us
to the stillness
of creation
and each other's arms
Maggie Lynch we will miss you dearly, forever you live in the spirit of our hearts. Thank you for the gift of your life for all the Lynch's everywhere. Rest freely in peace dear one.

My most sincere prayers and grief go to your family.
I am a fellow classmate of Maggie's.
I remember Maggie as the most sweetest girl in the world, not to mention a goofy one too, but that is why she was so loved.
On the dullest of days Maggie would have a smile upon her face.
She will not be forgotten and she will have a place in my heart.
Maggie and your loving family will always be in my prayers.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious... anonymous
May the precious memories you have of your beatiful Maggie, give you comfort during this difficult time.

Remembering Maggie
Your time on earth seemed all too brief
because we wanted you in our life forever.
And although we really miss you,
in our heart we know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
we find ourselves remembering you.
Although we cannot see or hear you,
We know that you are with us.
We'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.
We'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside us in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall
and rejoice with us at the emergence
of the first flowers of spring.
We’re thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too;
for those memories are a comfort now when we lovingly -
Remember You.

TO MAGGIE:
With aching hearts
and tear filled eyes,
we gather together
to say "Goodbye."
Since the day of the news
Our hearts sank like concrete,
With Maggies name,
Forever etched deep.
If God needed an angel
he made the right choice,
But we will selfishly miss
her delicate voice.
Although she has passed
So close to the start,
Maggie will be carried through life
In our minds and hearts.
Where she can never be taken,
fully away,
Where we can carry her with us
on graduation day.
She will stay with us
throughout life's endeavors,
And we will always miss her
And love her forever.
<3 Kevin O'Connell
I miss you Maggie.
