Honey,
You are my wife, my friend and my whole life. I miss you and you will be in my heart forever. I look forward to joining you and your angels in the future. I love you always!

Thanks to all for the well wishes and great words for the finest woman I know. We all need to continue her compassion and love. Mamma, your in our hearts and thoughts always!

With deepest sympathy to Lyn's family. I was lucky enough to have met this fine woman, who joined our Red Hat Hop n' Moms group. We enjoyed her when she joined us for cards or to go to a Tea. She was a very thoughful, caring person and will be truly missed. Rest in peace, dear friend.

To Lyn's Family,
I am sorry to hear of Lyn's passing my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I knew Lyn from Abbott Northwestern working at MICC – her smile, her willingness to help anyone and just listening will be missed. May your memories of all the wonderful times you shared with Lyn bring peace and comfort to your family, today and always and May the strength of God, family and friends see you through this difficult time.

My prayers are with John and the rest of the family. It was truly great knowing and working with Lynn at ANW

May the Angels guide onward,

Dear John, Scott and Chris,

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Meeting Lyn when I began working at Abbott was the highlight of the time spent there. She was a special friend all these years since and such an inspiration. She loved all of you so much and I am sure she will be watching over you with her angels now. I send you light and love...

John,Chris and John,

Words can not say how much I will miss Lyn.

Everyone in the world m=needs a friend like Lyn.
I can see in my mind her Angel wall in her bedroom. How proud of the angles was Lyn. She told me a a story about each of them as she added the angel I gave her.
Now she is my angle in heaven.
Love you Lyn.

I first met Lyn when I was hired as the Admitting Supervisor at Abbott NW Hospital, many, many years ago. She was so helpful to me when I first started telling me the "scoop" about each coworker. She never said anything bad about anyone. She was a delight to work with. I loss touch with her after she retired from Abbott NW and am so sad to hear of her passing. John/Chris/Scott - I know you will keep the Goring Team together during this difficult time. Take care.

In Memory of Lyn
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

I will miss you greatly, dear sister, but I take comfort in knowing that you are at peace and free of pain.
