Carol, This is really for you now,so glad to know that you and Lynn were with each other, he was really the best, and he will truly be missed by us all, life seems so short especially now that we are all older, how did that happen??? As a matter of fact you and I also had some great times did we not, yes we did. Know that I am thinking of you now, and hoping this time passes by gently for you,and in awhile instead of sad tears they will be happy tears remembering Lynn and what you shared with him, and I'm sure your memories and the things you and he shared will be the thing that will help you through this. Its gonna be O.K. one day it really will be. Girl my positive thoughts will be with you always. Randa

Wow, tough assignment...not saying goodbye but saying GOODBYE. Man, Lynn will be missed soooo much. I will always have the memories, the pool team we played on and the matches we had (what a pool shooter he was), the wedding reception we had in my back yard and my 5 foster kids decorating the yard with streamers and balloons (some of the colored tape still stuck to the fence after all these years). The talks we had while watching your Oakland Raiders and my 49'ers whom you alway dogged, saying they weren't a real California team. I remember the argument we had, you saying I wanted to be a Hampton and me insisting you wanted to be a Knight. Man we was crackin up. I'll miss you Lynn. When you were born they broke the mold. GOODBYE

Lynn "O.G.",
You were a great friend for many years. You will be greatly missed, but will be cherished and remembered in my heart for the rest of my time here on earth. So this is not goodbye, but simply, until we meet again, my friend.
Love you always, my friend,
