I had the privilege to work with your mom at Charlottesville Health @ Rehab ever weekend. She was just like a 2nd mom to me when I worked and when it was time for me to get off I would go to her room and order food out for the both of us and we would set up for hours talking, eating, and watching Tru Tv. She would always talk about how proud she was of her sons I will truly miss her smile but most of all the advice she would always give and her famous saying My deepest Sympathy gos out to the Lynch family at this time.
Sincerly,
Linda Clark
time to get off I would go to her room and order food out for the both of us

To the family of Carolyn Lynch,
It was privilege to get to know Carolyn during the time that she was a resident of Charlottesville Health and Rehab. As a member of a musical group, the Hintonnaires, who joined with the residents for music once a month, I quickly learned what a joy it was to spend time with Carolyn. She was unfailingly welcoming, cheerful, and friendly. We will miss her very much.

I am one of the physical therapists at CHRC. Carolyn and I worked together on her shoulder, unfortunately, to not much success at relieving the pain.
During that time, I got the pleasure of getting to know her better. What a joy to be around, so much fun and full of laughter. Always a kind word, a full of patience. One thing I learned, more than others, is that she treasured her family.
I know these are very difficult times. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will miss her so much but feel an honor that she was able to be a part of my life, even if it was for a short time.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I have known and work with Carolyn for about 20 years and she was one of my best friends. We had lunch together for about ten year and we could talked about everything. I know she is happy and now in heaven with Cecil now and looking down on us. And problem laughing at me because I am still working. I will missed her. Boy's you are all in my prayers.

I have known Carolyn for 25 years...However, in the past 3 years I have come to know her well. We talked on the phone 3 or 4 times and week and both looked forward to the calls. She was always upbeat and so much fun to talk to.I will truly miss talking to her. One thing for sure, she loved her sons so much and was very proud of them. She will be an angel in heaven
