I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew Lin, though I swore by her ski wax.
After seeing her picture for the first time this morning, she is just as beautiful as I imagined her to be. She put her soul into her wax and I could feel it every lap. I'm going to miss you Lin.

I'm truly sorry to hear of Ms. Martin's passing. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to her family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. And that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in this hope.

Lin worked in my research lab at Fort Lewis College. We both worked at S&S Chemical and I have many fond memories of those times. She will be missed. I hope all the fond memories her family has of her are a comfort to them at this time

I worked with Lin quite a few years ago, she knew how to do so many things and was a very sweet woman. My heart and condolences go out to her son, family and friends. She will be missed

She was my "go to person" if I had a mechanical problem. I loved that I had a reliable mechanic a few houses away. I will miss her laugh and her brilliance.
