Tessaglia Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Lynn at Citizens. We were not in the same dept., but we got to know each other as time went on. We would see each other in the morning and always had a laugh or two. I enjoyed talking to Lynn because of her friendly smile and great laugh.
Please accept my sincere sympathy.
