Remembering you always Jolynn. Such a wonderful friend and neighbor, and a healer for so many of us! Still doing the stretches and exercises you taught us when things just aren’t quite right. Miss you! ❤❤❤

Jolynn. Truly missed in our community of healers.You always stood out amongst us in Mid Michigan as one of the Colleagues I loved sharing patient care with. Your expertise, teaching, leadership, care and love your a legend. In Gods grace to you.

I will always remember the gentle physical therapy care that I received from Jolynn. What a loving and caring soul. I mourn her loss along with her family and friends. May she continue to rest in God's loving arms. With peace and love, Joan Tirak, patient.

I still feel the sheer love with which Jolynn served those of us who needed physical therapy. May all of you who loved her so dearly be comforted by how much she helped us. May she rest in God's loving peace. Amen.

I still remember Jolynn and the sheer beauty of her soul in responding to those of us in need of physical therapy. May all of you who loved her so dearly know that she helped so many of us. May she rest in God's loving peace.

With our 35th class reunion coming up my thoughts have turned to Jolynn a lot. She was a treasured high school friend. Nancy Clinton, Jolynn and I spent many great times together. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were driving around Lake Cadillac talking about our futures.
It sounds like Jolynn touched many lives and had a gift for healing. She left her mark on this world and won't be forgotten by all those she helped and those who loved her. Althogh Jolynn and I...

Saddened to hear of you losing your sister, JoLynn. We have fond memories of her back when we were kids, St. Ann's school and then Cadillac High. Our prayers are with you.

I was so sad to hear of Jolynn's death. She gave so much to so many and I am one of her many clients. She helped me for more than 3 years following a terrible back injury.
I hope you, her family, may find some comfort in knowing how many lives she impacted in a caring manner. I considered her more than a therapist--she was a friend. My deepest sympathies to you.

What deep sadness I felt upon learning of Jolynn's illness and passing! If I could describe my dear high school friend with one word, it would be "caring." She always had concern and empathy for others and seemed to intuitively know when something was amiss. I will forever treasure my memories of all the joys and sorrows we shared. I would have loved to laugh with her again! Her good work on earth was finished, and what a wonderful work it was. My deepest sympathies to her family. May our...
