I was so sorry to just learn of Lynn's passing last night. Lynn and I often spoke on facebook and I knew I had not seen her for a few weeks. I remember Lynn as a young high school student at Landmark, singing with Cheri and her beautiful smile. In her time with Cancer, Lynn always said what it would take to lift the spirits of her friends that she talked too. Lynn is with God now, no more suffering but this world will forever miss a true Christian. God speed Lynn. Thank you for the conversations. Chuck Bell

Bob, Mary, and Cheri....I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Lynn...she was so very special to our family....our "babysitter" for our babies while a teen. Roger, though I never met you, I do know that Lynn had your heart! She was such a tremendous, young lady...Heaven truly has another angel in its choir...

Roger and all the family, Please accept my deepest sympathy. Lynn was a dear friend of mine on Bladder Cancer Webcafe'. She always shared her deep faith in God and encouraged all of us. I will miss her but I know she is with her Savior and those us us who have accepted Christ will be with her throughout eternity. May that eternal hope give you comfort. This verse reminds me of Lynn:
Colossians 3:12 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of The Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God The Father through Him.
For all the health trials she had, Lynn, was always a shining example of Christ.
In Christian love,

To The Family of Lynn Fitser Williams,
Lynn's beauty started way beyond her beautiful face for it reach deep down into her soul where it pour out the grace of God on a daily bases as she was created to do so. This beautiful angel of God is now and will be forever more in her heavenly home with her Lord and Savior, who has watch over her, her entire life. She was my neighbor for just a few years, enough to get to know the wonders the Lord can bring to ones world was she. She will be missed by many here in this world while she waits for those to come to her in the end. Good bye to a dear and close friend in Christ until we meet again. May God give to all who wait to meet her again the grace and the strength to carry on, I pray until that day when we all will meet again. Amen

I remember 'Lyndee' from the time she was an infant. Even as a small child she was extra special. Always a smile, such a good little girl with that cute little giggle she carried thru life with her. At times I had the opportunity to babysit Lynn and she was such a joy. It was also a joy to watch her grow up and mature as a Christian mother. She blessed her whole family by being the person she was. Her love for the Lord was always evident and she was confident and willing to share about her Savior. It was very sad to know she had such a long battle and struggle with cancer. But always that smile. Now we know she is with her loving Savior walking the streets of gold. Resting, healed, and basking in His love. Rejoicing!

Lynn was a beautiful lady who I've known since we were both teenagers. She will be sadly missed here on Earth, but the angels are definitely rejoicing with her in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers to her family.

I was blessed to have met Lynn many years ago when she and I took piano lessons from Mrs.Byers in Indian Lake Estates. Although we didn't see each other in person frequently, we chatted on Facebook and "caught up" on our lives and the many blessings we enjoyed. Lynn sure "fought the good fight" and now has received life everlasting with Jesus and all the saints that welcomed her into Heaven.
Rest in Peace dear and special friend. Until we meet again,

Lynn and I grew close as we raised our children at Landmark Christian school. I loved Lynn and her sweet spirit and often when she sang it brought tears of joy to my eyes. Her work on earth is done and she leaves,only for a short time, a testimony thru her precious children and grandchildren to carry on. We all know they will. God bless all of her precious family

Lynn will be so missed! She was such a special blessing to me and a great encouragement over the years. We talked often about how faithful God is to keep us close even when we are suffering. She is now in the presence of the Faithful One. As the song goes, "I will see you again. This is not where it ends...." Will continue to keep Audra, Roger, and all the family in my prayers!

There will always be a special place in my heart for Lynn. She created our RSDsupportforyou group for a handful of sufferers. She always posted a Bible verse daily and was always happy, helpful, kind, caring and loving. She will be greatly missed. Sleep with the Angels my friend.

Most of my memories of Lynn revolve around childhood. After we moved away from Florida we would go stay with Aunt Lynn a few,times a year and both our family and the crews family would invade Disney world. I never wanted to leave their house. Audra and I would try to find ways to extend our visit. I remember the time our car broke down and we had to stay another night. Best trip ever! Aunt Lynn you have been an inspiration to many as you gracefully lived out your life despite many challenges. Thank you for being such a Godly woman.I pray that I can live that legacy in honor of you and my mom. Love to all the family left behind. You truly have been blessed to have Lynn in your life. Love to you all, wish I could be there to celebrate her life with you.
