All of us will grieve and remember her in our own ways. I encourage all to share their favorite memories or stories of Lynn, for as long as she lives on in our hearts, she is not truly gone.

Dear Sullivan and Guay Family,
I am so deeply sorry to learn of Lynn's passing. Back when we were kids, she lived just up the street from us, and we ultimately both ended up at WHS around the same time.
What a beautiful, sweet girl. God bless her and you in your time of grief.

Much Love to You.

Mrs. Lynn is what i knew her as, I had her for two classes at Miami Jacobs & she was a wonder person to be around. We always had great conversation & she always did what she could to help me whenever I was in need. She always had a smile on her face when ever we would observe people outside. I never knew she was fighting cancer she didn't tell anyone. I wondered where she went because i hadn't seen her for a while at the campus but I seen her obituary today on a friends page & couldn't believe it... Mrs.Lynn you will be missed dearly & I'll always remember you. For her family I'm very sorry for your loss Mrs. Lynn was an amazing woman. My prayers go out for all of you. God bless

Love, Kayla

She helped me through a tough situation I was going through and she also encouraged me to return to my education in Psychology. My prayers will continue to be with the family through this difficult time. I am so very thankful that I had the chance to know Dr. Guay!
