Lynn, a good sister-in-law and Aunt to Lea and Dana. Never a dull moment at dinner, or any other time, with you there at Mary and Pix's when Cherie and I would come with the kids. This was way too soon and way too sudden. You are missed.

I remember you, Dave, and Chuck coming to Santa Barbara to take me to LV to see Elvis.
I've regretted not going to this day. RIP Lynn.
Way to young, but a much better place.

You will always have a place in my heart. I will never forget you helping me celebrate my college graduation, especially for helping me hunt down all the cute boys on the cruise! I'll miss you, however, I know you are with your family now.

I will miss your witty ways and our talks about cars and such. Thanks for being a best friend to me and my wife.

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing...I was truly heartbroken reading the St. Petersburg Times yesterday morning. Just returning from a memorial service in Chicago, I was thinking about you and all the wonderful/crazy times we had growing up in Chicago. I will never forget that "outing" we had when I was discharged from the Military in San Francisco.
Lynn, fair winds and Godspeed.

Your time on earth was way too short, Pickles. Your laughter and fun loving ways will be missed by all who love you. You're in the Lord's hands now---Peace.

You truly were one of a kind and the world won't be quite as much fun as before. Your passing leaves us all sad.

I only knew you as Pickles, a nickname that Mers called you. Our dinner experience last year left me laughing for days afterward. Like so many who feel the same way, you'll be missed and left us way too soon. GOD bless you my brief but dear friend.

We remember sitting in the jacuzzi with you, laughing and drinking beer, wearing the silly hats with the flashing lights that you bought us for the 4th of July. People come and people go, but your departure has left the world a far duller place to live in. --Bill Douglas

You left us too soon my friend! We enjoyed our time living next door to you and your family on Boca Ciega Isle. You will be missed by many.

Lots of wonderful memories with Lynn, along with her sister, Cherie, and parents, Pix and Mary. These memories extend back to when cousin Lynn was born and I was eleven years old. In recent years, I enjoyed our political discussions via e-mail. I will miss her.
