May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
Lynn,
I found your obituary while looking up my family history. My father's family first settled in 1645 in Lynn MA which made me think of Lynn. I looked up her name and found your obituary.

Just ran across a journal Lynn gave me years ago when our paths crossed in Las Vegas. I've never met a kinder, more loving person. My prayers go out to the family -- I still remember you fondly, Ish and Rachel
