Dear Family, Lynn was always friendly and warm with a ready smile and hugs whenever we met. We will miss her. She and Ken gave me a clever gift that had a lead pencil and black and red ink all in one. I use every day and it reminds me of her thoughtfulness.

Dear Ken- our love and prayers and support are with you. We love our memories together of gatherings at Dennis and Dawn's over the years. Watching the kids grow, sharing good food and good times. Lots of laughter and fun. Celebrations, sports, barbecues. One of my favorite recent memories of Lynn is when we were playing croquet in the back yard-- Lynn was very good and we kicked the guys! Too funny. Needless to say there were lots of attempts to claim we "cheated" and did not follow the...

Let the wonderful memories, the sharing of love and laughter and times of joy together remain with you. Time does heal however memories never leave you. Our love and support are always with you and here for you. Marcia, Darrell, Ben and Erikka

My Aunt Lynn was a true angel on this earth. She was beautifully creative in many crafts, and always made my birthday cakes in special shapes such as a violin. Kindness, courteousy, grace and presence; filled with joy to the brim, and in her essence giving these things to all people she encountered. Aunt Lynn almost always had the giggles! She loved corn on the cob and could eat it faster than anyone. This is caught on film by the way! She loved my mom (her sister Betty), and my mom loved...
