A celebration of Lynne's life and legacy will be held in Thunder Bay in early May."If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up--lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well."~Maya Angelou"
