Dear Sister,
Thank you sooo much for sharing your life with us all. Even though it had been some years since we last saw or spoke with you Lynne, your thoughts, insights, and most of all your laughter will always remain an indelible part of our lives in Hawaii.
It meant a great deal to have wrapped my arms around you one last time there at the table before we gave you up to the sea as you wished.
The leis from Nick and Alex, the rose pettles from us all were but a very tiny expression of our deepest love for you Lynne that we shall always carry with us until the end of our days, Insha Allah.
MAY ALLAH REWARD SWEET SISTER FOR ALL THOSE YOU'VE TOUCHED PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY.
We are certainly very blessed to be among the many.
ASSALAMO-ALAIKUM
(PEACE BE UPON YOU)

Dr Lynn is a super friend who taught me much, and helped so many, literally saving lives. The world is a better place having had her. We all miss her very much. My thoughts go out to Chris and Tim and the rest of her family.
