Many memories..babysat for children, my parents friends (David and Jeanne Schwarz) of Lynn and Phil, neighbors and followed in Lynn's profession! Remember visiting Lynn in Orienta and swimming in her pool not so long ago...

My Sincere Condolences to the entire Straus family...Ms.Straus was absolutely the one of the most caring and SWEETEST people that I've ever met in my lifetime. SHE WAS TRULY ONE OF A KIND!!You will be missed but never forgotten!..LOVE YOU ALWAYS MS. STRAUS...Greg Sturdivent.

I met Lynn through her best friend, Phil Straus, whom I met through work. But Phil had a big enough heart to make friends all around and to share his best friend, Lynn. I cherished both of them, and I will remember them and pass on their message of loving friendship.

What a blessing it was for Lynn´s family to have a mother who did so much good in the world. We send our sympathy to all who loved her. Alice and Tex

I had the privilege of visiting with and learning from Lynn through our Jewish Board -JBFCS connection. She was a gracious, wise and witty woman who cared deeply about her own family and children worldwide. She changed the quality of life for generations of children. May her memory be a blessing.

Lynn was an inspiration, and the photo above captures her spirit beautifully. It was an honor to know her, even just a little bit. Sending love to the family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. Sabina Ramotowski
