When I think of “Auntie Lyn” I think of one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Definition of Beautiful: having qualities that delight the senses. I cannot think of one time in my entire life that I wasn’t excited to hear that Uncle Ron and Auntie Lyn were coming over or that we were going to see them. She made people happy by entering a room. She “delighted senses”.
I will have forever in my heart the memories she has given to me.
I will carry them with me for the rest of my life. Auntie Lyn is one of those people that make you feel good about yourself no matter what. She has made a profound difference in my life. Every single time I saw her I was made the prettiest girl in the room from the things she said to me. I was once over at their house in Oyama. We were all sitting downstairs and I looked over at the coffee table. There was a coaster sitting on the table that said “ Dance Like There’s Nobody Watching”. I commented on how cute it was and before we left she gave it to me. From now on I will always dance like there’s nobody watching for my angel “Auntie Lyn” I love you always and forever!!!!

As has been mentioned many times in this beatutiful guest book my big sister Lyn was a very specia lady. Lyn was magic and will be sorely missed. I thought of Lyn as more like a mother to me, she was there for me on countless occations, when I did'nt have a mom to turn to. She was talented, funny, and had such an aboundance of love she willing shared it all with all. To know Lyn was to love her. You'll be with me always sis. I also want to thank my brother Ron for being such a great husband and best friend to his lovely wife.
Love Charley and Mark

"AMOUNG THE ANGELS"
life's journey on earth may have come to an end
but you still walk with us in our memories ,my Dearest Friend.
always feeling your presance as I'm going through my day
during good times and struggles
I feel you there beside me when I pray
your now amoung the ANGELS,where you keep watch over us
and when I need my ANGEL , I'll be calling out to you
deep inside my heart
there we will never be apart
there will be times, when I miss you so much
that I want to pick you from my dreams and hug you so... tight
Just as GOD said,
"let there be light"
I know the grey skys ,will turn bright,
I will remember, how we use to feel
laughing & joking,splashing,in the lake
these memories,no one can ever take
and when I feel a gentle breeze or a snowflake touches softly on my face
I know it was sent from my ANGEL of grace
when a raindrop falls upon my nose,
or the sweet soft scent of that perfect rose
I know our ANGEL's very close,
and sent her love.
from heaven, she has sent a hug.
within our hearts,we'll keep her song of life.. alive..
and when we feel a little tug.
feeling lonley,feeling blue
we know she's here,with me and you.
remembering
HUGS SENT FROM HEAVEN
A BROKEN HEART THEY WILL MEND
you are our
" GUARDIAN ANGEL "
&
" MY BEST FRIEND "
< AUNTIE LYN >
ALWAYS AND FOREVER
LOVE YOU
"YOUR OKANAGAN GIRLS "

To see her walk into a room you couldn't help but smile,
She brought happiness with her where ever she went.
She had a generous, loving heart.
Always had a good story or joke to tell,
We have so many great memories to hold onto
Thanks for all the fun times, we will truly miss you "Auntie Lyn"
Love you, Barbie & Robbie Walthers

"Memories" of a beautiful person "Auntie Lyn"
Deep belly laughter,
A heart as big as the sky,
and truly the finest of souls.
Honored to have had you in my life,
Gone, but never forgotten.

To Ron & Families: We remember meeting Lynn in Hawaii, where her feet were so sore, she was carrying her shoes, limping along. She had stopped and was sitting on the steps of our Hotel. What a suprise to see her, and of course Red had something smart to say when he recognized her. She was very kind, and generous to Red's 3 girls. We have great memories of her and her good sense of humour. We cherish her glass windchime that she made last year, down in Yuma, it is on our deck, and we will always remember her.

Irene & family,
My thoughts and heart go out to you. I met Lynanne at mom's surprise wedding shower. In that one evening her charisma, vitality and uplifting energy left an unforgettable imprint with me and for that I am grateful.

Dear Ron, Irene and family
My heartfelt sympathy at the passing of Lynn. She was a kind, warm person who will be missed dearly. A personal memory of mine is being invited to Thanksgiving Dinner 2 years ago and how at home she made me feel. It is a wonderful memory I have of Lynn and I saw the joy she took in family. Take care, Lori

Dear Ron and Irene:
My thoughts and prayers are with you both. The pleasure was all mine to be introduced to such a wonderful person as Lynn, known to me as (Irene's mom). Her sense of humour and wit was truly a breath of fresh air. She was a very warm and caring individual, with a heart of gold. It is a loss to this world, to lose one of its best. What a pleasure it must have been to spend a lifetime with her Ron.

Dear Ron and family.
Words cannot express the emotions we have been going through since hearing the news about Lyn.We laugh about the fun times we had at the lake. We laugh at the fact Lyn could find humour in just about anything. We cry at the thought she is no longer with us to make us laugh.Our hearts are not laughing,they are broken.

Dear Ron and Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss of Lynn.
She was one of funniest people I've ever had the privledge to know. She could see the humor in everyday life. I'll always remember the knee slapping, side splitting stories she could tell. Most the time, at Ron's expense.
Farewell my Friend,
Colleen Jamison

To Lyn's wide circle of friends:
My sister Lyn was the most amazing person. When she ran into an obstacle she either climbed it, went around it or obliterated it. She never met a person she didn't befriend. Never heard a joke she didn't share. Her life was spent looking after the people she loved and we are all the richer for it. I'm proud that she was my sister and my friend.

I worked with Lyn at Nectar and remember her filled with laughter. Her kindest, wisdom and compassion will be missed.People always gravitated to her and because of her wonderful personality was able to warm even the the grouchiest of the lot.
