Where do I begin? Your mom was so wonderful to me. When I was buying this condo I was a flight attendant for United Airlines and was mostly in San Francisco. Your mom and I talked on the phone about so many issues when I was trying to deal with the sale contract! She was an inspiration on the board here when I moved in...always ready to listen and offer advice. I was absolutely so touched that I was her first responder in an emergency...And so happy that I could fulfill that role for both of you and for her. She was a wonderful friend and I will really miss her. She is in a better place...

Dear Denise and Tracy, Please accept my condolances on the loss of your mother. I worked with your mom at Slade Middle School and I have always felt blessed for getting to know her. She spoke of you girls constantly back then as you were still in school. We shared a love of animals and would share our pet stories. but what I remember most was her incredible love for and dedication to her students. We shared some of those students as I was a remedial reading teacher at the time. I also remember with fondness our afternoons spent in the New Britain Teacher's Bowling League. We weren't very good, but oh, we had fun! I am sad that Lynn is no longer with us on this earth, but I am confident she is in a good and happy place. Again, my condolances to you and your families.
