Working with Lynn was a pleasure; her thorough knowledge of our property and needs made our business so much easier. However, it was her wonderful personality and demeanor that made the experience of working with her exciting and memorable. She will be missed; God Bless.

I knew Lynn from law school and then my tenure at the McNair Law Firm, which I joined the firm shortly after she joined. Beautiful woman - a great business woman and partner, a skilled and diligent lawyer, a sweet friend. I had prayed for her to be healed and am saddened that she left us so soon. She was brave and Heaven has received a true angel.

Lynn worked closely with the School Board for several years assisting us on land purchases. She was intelligent and articulate, and at the same time kind and compassionate. She will greatly missed. We mourn her passing, but rejoice in her homecoming.
