Not sure what to say?

I am devastated to hear that Lynn is gone! I worked with her at the McElroy Law Firm around 2000-2003. She was such a hard-working mom, Elizabeth, and I remember how much her world centered around you. I later went through a divorce when my son was young (he's still in school) and appreciated her efforts in a new context. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Lynn was both a friend and a client. She was always kind and had a beautiful smile. I am so sorry to hear this.

I knew Lynn (and Elizabeth) through Girl Scouts. Talk about a woman who lived with Courage , Confidence and Character who made the world a better place. One fond memory is a weekend of fashion design at camp. Lynn was such a fabulous mentor to the scouts and the adults. My most heartfelt condolences to all who knew her, especially those who knew her best.

I worked with Lynn for a numbers of year. I loved her joyous zest for life. She had a great laugh and was a totally fun gal. I will miss you.

I am so sorry to hear of Lynn´s passing. We worked together at Foster Pepper. She was always delightful and upbeat and made my job easier. My prayers for her daughter and family.

Lynn always welcomed me with open arms, and would whisk Elizabeth and I away on grand adventures. I remember most strongly our road trips to Spokane. When I first got my driver's license, she let me drive her big red truck on the freeway. I can't remember if that was the first time I had driven on the freeway, but I definitely recall that it was the first time I had ever driven 70mph. I also remember helping adopt her cat, Holmes, and getting to entertain a kitten on the 4 hour drive back to...

I have no one land since I was 21 years old. She worked at Jay Jacobs in Spokane and she was a fashion queen. She was fun, witty, and beautiful. One of my favorite memories of Lynn was we were out at Cavanagh`s in at the park in Spokane, in their disco, and the song you can ring, my bell came on, and Lynn pulled a little bell out of her purse. I nearly died. We had a deal she would go see the punk shows with me and I would go to the disco with her. We had a great time always. I´m thankful for...

I will never forget how caring she was of Elizabeth and her friends. She made us bourbon balls, and we loved it so much, she even delivered them to our house during Covid. She was an amazing soul and will forever be in our thoughts and prayers
