Lyn Valentine

Hi Lyn,
Sorry it's been so long since I wrote you, I know I talk to you and think about you all the time but just felt like writing to you today. I can't believe it's been 11 years since you've been gone and mom 13. I know people say it gets easier as time passes but Im not convinced...I can't have a conversation about you and mom without at the least my eyes watering up and Mandijean is right there with me. But it doesn't stop us from talking and sharing our memories with each other....

Hi Lyn, Just wanted to give you an update on the house...your apartment is great, you would love it and I am sure you visit me often and have already given your stamp of approval. I can't tell you how often I think about you and Mom, I hope you tune in when I am chatting with both of you. You would get a kick out of the fact now I am the one on antidepressants! I also agree I don't know if they do anything or not but things are such that I decided to try them. I miss you and hope you will...

Hi Lyn,
I miss you so very much. I just needed to chat I talk to you all the time at home but I thought it would be nice to write today. I continue to fix up the house...you would love it and so would mom, Erika is here as planned and has been since Dec. Mandijean has had a tough time adjusting to not having you downstairs but I hear her talking about you with Emily, Tim and Debbie which is her best way of working through anything...I wish I had them too! Renee had the baby a month...

I'm so sorry to hear that Lyn has died; I have very fond memories of our friendship during highschool. Most of all I remember Lyn as being very kind and having an easy smile and the prettiest strawberry-blonde hair. I'll miss you~

I can’t even begin to express how much it saddens me to hear about Lyn’s passing. I only knew her for a short period of time but she touched my heart more than she will ever know. Lyn was my first and only true friend when I moved to Massachusetts. I remember how much she loved listening to Reo Speedwagon and the Moody Blues. The nights we spent at her sister Sandi’s apartment playing cards and talking about life are still very fond memories for me. I can still remember how hard I cried...

My Mom was beautiful, smart, honest, and a bit eccentric at times. (Who isn't?) It was just the two of us for so long, and those are the memories that keep floating to the surface of my mind. I miss her so much and feel so very lost without her. I know that her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, and forever in mine. She was my angel on earth, and now I know that she will be watching me always, my angel above.

I cannot express how shocked and saddened I am to hear the news of Lyn's passing. My sincere condolences to all her family.

Sharon, Sandi and family,
There were too few many times that we were able to spend time together. The visits with you in Amherst bring fond memories. I am sorry that I didn't have the same opportunities to know the rest of your family.
I am very sorry for the loss of your sister Lyn. After reading what Sandi and others wrote in this guest book, I know that she was very special and will be sadly missed.
My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Lyn was a very special person. She always made me laugh. She will be missed. My condolences to the family.
