A trip down memory lane with my sister in law....oh, the stories we shared whenever we spoke. You kept my sanity through much of that time with a good laugh. You will be missed. See you again in a better place.

Lyn was my next door neighbor and incredibly nice and sweet. Knowing that I worked the night shift and got home late, one evening she had a plate of food waiting for me, just because. And she would always complement my efforts to take care of my yard even though sometimes I struggled. I'll never forget her kindness and I was happy to know her over the last five years

My memories of Lyn go back to the l950's.
I'll always remember her cheerful, friendly ways, our high school sophomore year as roomates, and the many good times we shared. I'll deeply miss her. . . . Carolyn

Dearest Pitty Pat, I shall miss you more than you will ever know. We shared so many good times, both at St. Mary,s Hall and afterwards. You really did a good job raising your wonderful daughter. She has been so great through all of this and has made our pain at the loss of you, bearable. See you in the hereafter. Love you so much, Francie

Lyn Pitman Tinker was my "sister" and friend since we were at St. Mary's Hall together and later Lyn was a bridesmaid in my wedding. "Pittypat", as we called her back then, will be missed by all of us. I will miss our every-two-weeks phone calls. We will meet again.
