Mom,
I will never forget you as long as I live. Because of you, I understand good, bad, right, and wrong. I could not have had a better upbringing. Heather and I will miss you dearly. By the way, the hearse stalled on the way to the cemetary. Everyone was convinced that it was one last attempt at humor by you! In death, you are very much alive and you always will be, Mom. I love you,
Your Son, John

I worked with Lynn at Liberty Mutual for many years. She was a kind and truly funny person! Most of all she was proud of her family! I pray that she is at rest and God's eternal light!

Ron,Dan&Jenni,John&Heather,
I am very sorry for the loss of Lynne. You all know how much I loved her.I will miss her immensley as I know you all will. She had a great impact in my life.She had been a wonderful friend to me for 19 years. She taught me many thing's about life but more importantly about myself. She has always been my biggest cheerleader, even when I lost faith in myself. She was a loyal,loving wife and mother. She has shown me that raising son's is at times very challenging but it is the BEST and most rewarding "job" on this earth. She has shown me how to laugh at life and enjoy it. I am thankful to her for always being a co worker that I could depend on. Over the years we had so much fun. We laughed A LOT at work(too much sometimes that it did not even feel like work :)), and at home. We celebrated weddings in our families, holidays,birthdays,baptisms,first communions,and a confirmation. She was a true friend to myself and to my family. Please know that she will be in my heart always.
Love to All
