I send my condolences to today to you because I finally got to read the obituary. You must have had a good life with Lynn after reading your 17 messages of love and friendship. We have had an ongoing friendship too, being raised on the same street. You are a true friends who never gives up. I wish you the best in the days ahead and give me a call when you get lonely.

Vernona & Family....I think I wrote something on your Facebook page but in case I did something wrong, let me convey my condolences to you now. I didn't know until a few days ago that your husband had passed, or was ill, for that matter. We are so sorry, Vernona. I'm sure its been hard for a long while. We miss seeing you on occasion in Malad. Please call when you come up again and we'll try to have lunch. We keep losing our classmates & spouses. Got to keep in touch while we still can. Sincerely, Paula & Terry Morby, Malad, Id.

Vernona, I was sorry to learn from you that Lynn had passed on July 2. We were so close as neighbors in Malad and classmates, ward members and many happy times together. I am glad you were married to such a fine fellow. I have only met Jeff once when he was a teenager. I think you are a loving, caring family and was away out of state when this happened. I would have sent you my condolences then.

Verona and son, Jeff,
I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, but I was a classmate of Lynn's from Juab High. I spoke to Lynn the end of May to invite him to our 50th class reunion in June. We had such a nice visit. He didn't mention he was ill. I'm so grateful for that last little chat. He was a great guy!

My prayers are with you both.

Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. I wish I could have been there for the funeral, but the railroad has a nasty habit of sending you out of town when something important comes up. I was in Elko when I read the obituary and missed the funeral. My deepest sympathy to Lynn's family. My prayers are with you. Steven Pace Creer. (Annabelle's son)

Vernona and Jeff,
We were stunned to read of Lynn's passing when we checked the Tribune today. We remember the great times we had with all three of you at airboat parties, duck hunting days in the marsh, Ducks Unlimited dinners and good visits. We looked forward to your Christmas cards after we left Utah.
Take care and keep in touch.
Love to you both.

Jeff... When Shellee told me Lynn had fallen ill with cancer I could not believe it. He was a great man. I have great memories of him especially from the races down in Vegas. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Mom.

Vernona & Jeff~
We are so saddened to have lost our wonderful friend and most favorite neighbor. When we moved leaving the Paces was the hardest part. We will forever hold our memories of Lynn close to our hearts like his and Gordons Friday nights, his funny little nicknames, races at Rocky Mountain, his wonderful cooking and and most of all his friendship. He was someone you could always count on. He was there for us when we had our struggle with Cancer. We are sorry we didn't know Lynn was sick so that we could have been of some help. But that was Lynn's way he wasn't one to be fussed over. This has been a reminder to always stay in touch with your loved ones. Life can change so quick. Please let us know if we can do anything at all. We pray for strenght for the both of you to get though the days to come and comfort in knowing that Lynn is free from his pain and in a much better place.
Love Always,
Julie & Gordon Amador

WAYNE I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR BROTHER BUT THROUGH THE LOVE OF FAMILY AND FRIEND WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME

Melanie Pace-Gygi

July 4, 2010

Dear Vernona and Jeff, We were heartbroken when my dad (Wayne) first told us about the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. We asked often about Lynn's condition, hoping for good news. Cancer is so tough--it's awful, and we're so very sorry. Dad seemed to think that Uncle Lynn didn't want people to fuss over him, and so I was hoping we could visit this summer when we were out in Utah rather than calling when we found out about the cancer. I can't believe how quickly the cancer advanced, and please know our hearts are heavy, and his presence is missed. I love him--as a young girl he was always so kind and fun for us to be around, and he never failed to come find us and talk to us, even though we were shy sometimes at those big family gatherings in Nephi! I hope you both can get through these next tough days and maybe the tougher days to come. At least we hope and believe in a better life after this, and he is free of the pain and problems of this life. We love you--
Melanie, Steve,Jeremy, Micah and Joel
