Edwina "Sunny" Lynch

Sunny has gone on to a "Sunnier" place. I remember when I would joke with her and see her quiet little pixy grin that hid a bright mind and quick wit.

It is hard for us to imagine the sadness the Lynch family feels losing "Sunny" so suddenly, a wife and mother who was so active in life and involved in the lives of her children and community. We share in your grief and trust that the many fond memories of her will comfort you all in the times ahead.

I have known the Lynch family since I was four years old and remember well Mrs. Lynch's chocolate chip cookies. But the fondest memory I have of her was holding a six year old Martha on her lap in the bathroom for an entire night (during a slumber party) because Martha felt sick. What a mom. My love to the entire family.

I only want to say that, after knowing Martha, I know that I
would have loved Sunny.

Let the memorial for "Sunny" be one of gratitude and thanks for the loving strength and devotion she gave to her family.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Always,

I'd like to share a few words that were given at the first Memorial Service for my mother, which was held up in Whitefish, MT on June 30, 2004. The service for the family's California friends and relatives is tentatively set for 2:00pm on Tuesday, August 3, 2004 at the Calvary Presbyterian Church, 4495 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, CA 92507.

The minister spoke of my mom's last day--that my parents were thrilled to spend that day with their friends at the dedication service and...

Our love and thoughts go out to this wonderful family. Having known Don, Sunny, David, John and Martha for over 30 years what comes to mind is "to know them is to love them." Sunny's creativity, kindness, energy and strength has benefited our world greatly. Always,

I can now see where Martha gets her "sunny" disposition and positive attitude in her life.

Martha is my very dear friend as well as my financial advisor. My heart goes out to the entire family at this very sad time.
