I only knew Lynn through e-mail correspondence at Ohio EPA, but her positive spirit was unmistakable. I am so deeply saddened that she will not return; no one could possibly take her place. May God Bless her family and especially her partner through this difficult time.

With God's Grace,
Angela

Judy,
My deepest condolences. I've known Lynn since grade school. She was a natural comedian and always fun to be around. I'm sorry I will not be able to attend but my thoughts are of her and with you though we have not met.

I have known Lynn since I was 15. She was so much fun and so very funny. She was wonderful with the written word and could get the best bargains. I loved going birding with her, she taught me a lot. Our dogs were friends, sort of, and we had them blessed one Spring. Lynn encouraged me to finally finish my degree. So many memories that I am so happy to have, she has made life better in many ways. She was so strong and fought a valiant battle and as such has taught me how to be brave and cherish life.

Judy I am grateful that you blessed her life and brought her so much comfort, love and joy. I will pray for you as you grieve this loss.

Betty I can't imagine your feelings of loss, she was a wonderful daughter as trips to Vegas and Frankenmuth can attest to, as well as, all of those holidays the two of you shared together. You are in my prayers.

Terry, she always looked up to her older brother, I know you will miss her wit and her love of her family. She has inspired many and will be missed by many.

I know how much Lynn is loved by all of you, and I will definitely miss her laugh and optimism. You have my deepest sympathy and I know God will see you through this most difficult time. You will all remain in my prayers!

I have known Lynn for a long time and have many memories of her and I at Alter Dances and hanging out in U.D. country. She was always so much fun to have around at our family gatherings. It wouldn't take me long to be laughing when Lynn was around. She was just so funny.
My sympathies to Betty, my niece Sharlene and Judy.
God Bless you all.

We were just at the beginning of what I hoped would be a life long friendship. We are both so saddened by this life that has been snuffed out way too soon. Lynn had such a warmth and good energy about her, you couldn't help but be drawn to her. Our hearts will be sad, but we are relieved that her suffering has come to an end. Judy, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you, Jeff & Miles

Once in a lifetime you meet someone and become best friends. As life moves on so does the dynamics and challenges of the friendship change. But the core of that love is always there. I will miss Lynn so much. I was 19 when we became friends and as I grew she was always there for me. We shared so many memories and times that it is difficult for anyone to understand. I will remember putting up her Christmas tree each year; I will remember being with her at her father's and grandma's funeral and I will remember her always being there for me as she helped mold me to be the person that I am....I have so many thoughts that I can't express but I know that she is in heaven looking down. God Bless you my friend; you will always be in my thoughts.

Love,
Pat
