Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. My Mom and Dad (Shug and Jerry) also asked me to tell you how sorry they are for your loss. It seems like yesterday that we were all playing out in the backyard. Hold on to the memories and know that we are all thinking about you. The Lynch family.
