Wishing Tiffany and the rest of Lynn's family & friends continued loving memories to keep her alive in your hearts!
So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom, Tiffany. I met you & your wonderful mom during the Las Familias Dinner many years ago. Then many times after that had the pleasure of working with her on other events hosted in your mom's beautiful home. Lynn's beautiful, caring, giving, energetic spirit will be missed. Blessings, Pamela.
