Lynne was such a sweet woman. She was a wonderful companion to Ron for so many years. We were lucky she became a part of our family. I will miss seeing her.

Lynne was such a sweet spirit. I will miss her smile and laugh so very much. Summers around the patio table and holidays together will not be the same without her. She became a beautiful part of our family.
Until we are together again, you remain my sister in Christ.
