Dear Hugh and family
AnnLynn's wonderful smile and grand heart will remain in my memories. I have pictures taken at the shower we gave her at UNC. One of the sweetest memories I have is her worrying that if she got married right before the national PT exam, she would have trouble focusing during the test.
I am blessed to have known her.

Dear Hugh, Georgia and Charlie,

I was saddened to hear of AnnLynn's death. I have such fond memories of our walks and talks and many other activities together. She gave me a painting she had done early on and a note many years ago which I continue to treasure. Her determination and her courage in the face of life's challenges were an inspiration to all of her friends. You are in my prayers.

To Hugh and the rest of Ann Lynn's family, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. Ann Lynn and I grew up together in Grifton. She was my best friend then, and has remained a friend throughout the years. We didn't see much of each other but I thought of her often. I don't know anyone who ever met her who didn't like her. May you always remember the good times.

My sincere condolences to the family. I met Annlynn in art classes at Sertoma where I could admire and envy her art work and ask for her advice. Her talent, gentle personality, and kindness made a mark on many of her colleagues. I will miss her.
