Very few people leave a lifelong memory of their presence and more importantly, their influence in our lives but Mrs. Flynn was one of those special people to me. As a young boy, she was my Den Mother in Cub Scouts where we met in the `rec hall“ of the Faneuil projects. She was a vibrant personality with a wonderful laughing smile, one I will always remember. Mrs. Flynn will always be in my heart and prayers.
