To the family of Ira & Lynn
I lived next door to them many years ago and became very good friends. Neither of them ever met a stranger and was like kin to me. I worked with Ira at Bendix for many years, we had a good time. Ira was a family man who always looked out for his family. Ira will always be known for his sense of humor, never a dull moment around him. Lynn was a kind loving person who loved her children with all her heart and showed it everyday. I will miss both of them. God took two angels to be with him.

Lynn, was like a sister to me. I do not have the words to describe how much both her and my brother will be missed. The only peace that will come from this is to know that both of them are together and not suffering any more. Please always remember both of them will be missed and if there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Lynn has been a member of our family scence she was 12 years old.She married my brother when she was just 15.Lynn helped care for my Father and Mother during thier illness before they passed away and we were so thankful for her caring and gentle way.Lynn also cared for my Brother during his long illness,she was always by his side,wheather it was at the transplant center in Pittsburgh,Riverside Hospital or at home she was there for him.Ira is gone now and he had to leave Lynn but,I know if he had his choice he would have been here to hold her hand as she passed,because he spent his last days trying to make sure that she would be taken care of after his death.Ira died August 6th of this year,a little more than 2 months ago and we knew that she probably wouldn,t go on long without him.Lynn was one of the most loving mothers I have ever met,as a result her girls are also very kind and gentle mothers who love thier children unconditionally.I loved lynn as if she were my sister and I will miss her in a great way ,however I am thankful with all of my heart that she will no longer have to suffer,because she did suffer.I love you Lynn,love,sparkle

I am very sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. I hope knowing that she is at peace and together with Poopie is a comfort to you.

It has been many years since I have seen any of Lynn's family. She and I grew up together in Briarfield, we were inseperable as children. Her parents, Frank and Edna were dear friends also. My brother Randy was also buddies with Lynn's brother Frank (we called him Bud).We lost touch in the late 60's early 70's when my mother passed away, and I was just a child and moved to N.C. with relatives. I am now living in Seaford Va.
My deepest sympathy to the family, her siblings and her children. I will always keep fond memories of her. God has chosen another angel.

I was saddened to hear of Lynn's passing. She was a very sweet and wonderful person. She has gone to be with our Lord and will not have to suffer any more pain and will now be with her loving husband, Ira, in Heaven.
