Dear Frank,

Sorry to hear of the passing of Lynn. My prayers are with you and your family.

I can remember many a good times at the Ackerman household. I am sure that the memories of Lynn will be with you and the family for ever. They will bring a tear to you eyes but they will be happy memories. Again, my prayers go out to the Hirsch family.

Dear Frank



I never met you but Lynn was my dearest childhood friend. I loved her like a sister. We were in touch only briefly in 1980 much to my regret. I hope time soothes you. I wanted you to know how I loved her when we were children growing up in the same neighborhood in Lima. Her and her mother's influence on my adult life is quite incredible--the things they taught me about food, fun, and music will remain with me the rest of my life.



Sincerely, Sharon Brunk Oehler

Dear Frank,



We are so deeply saddened to hear of Lynn's death. What a dreadful shame; she was a lovely lady. We will not forget the gatherings at your home in Northfield, her graciousness, the splendid dogs she so lovingly raised.



Please accept our sympathies and our prayers for comfort for you, your children, and your grandchildren.



Take care.



Tom and Barbara
