My thought and prayers go out to the McCombs family. I just discovered this obituary. Sister McCombs was a wonderful boss in Deseret Industries as well as the wife of a loving Bishop.

What a shock to hear of Lynne's untimely passing. She was one of my dearest friends, from our days at Cooper Elementary, through Vallejo High. Oh, the pranks we used to pull! Lynne was fun, smart, had a positive personality, and was a great friend to have. My sincerest condolences to her family.

My dear Lynn was the best friend of everyone she knew. Lynn was in my car pool group when we were juniors in high school... there were four of us and we all left extra early so we would't be late for first class. Lynn was so much fun..... love, Dede Jenkins Cowan
