Jerry:
I was so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with her when the three of us worked at First Realty's Cobblestone office and when she would come into IR's Corporate office. She was always so pleasant. I know the two of you were very close. My heart goes out to you and your family.

God grant you the serenity
To accept the things you cannot change,
Courage to change the things you can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Jerry and family,
I can't express how heart broken I am.
I loved Lynn, she was a true friend and an outstanding wonderful person.
I pray for peace in God's promise. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:3
Thinking of you all with heartfelt sympathy.
