Madeline Elizabeth Grimner

Where do I begin?
I am blessed to have known my Aunt Lynn
Holidays and parties were times we shared,
Updates on our lives, she always cared

I most remember her keen sense of style,
And a compliment from her would always make me smile

The past few years I remember best,
She was there for me when my Mom laid to rest

Once she got on Facebook, she felt closer to me,
Keeping up with everyone in our family.
I will miss being able to give her a call,
But I'm sure she's in Heaven now, having a ball!

Rest in peace Aunt Lynn

Madeline and I met in primary school and were the best of friends for 80 years. Too many stories to tell about our teen years at Little Flower! Madeline was my maid-of-honor. She was a wonderful friend who could laugh at herself and I loved that about her. She always insisted that her IQ was higher than mine and that she was a year younger than me! We had such fun.

This photo is the two of us at our last high school prom. I will miss my friend always.

In memory of Aunt Lynn, a donation was made to Parkinson´s Foundation, in her honor.

Hi Tom, Obviously I didn't know your mom, but I know how special they are. I just want you to know I'm thinking of you and prayers to your mom and your family. Jim Sullivan

I never got to meet Madeline in person but from working with Karen and Andrew I feel like I knew her. I am so very sorry for your loss. Prayers and Hugs for you all. Lulu

My beautiful Godmother, Aunt Lynn and I shared a special bond throughout my life. I was so in awe of her class, style, and grace. She taught me to embrace my femininity, and shared my passion for fashion. Her wisdom and sound advice was always welcomed, as I looked up to her as a role model, and appreciated her intelligence. Aunt Lynn was sweet and sassy, and I will miss our fun phone conversations and our quality time one-on-one visits. She was so loved and admired, and will be intensely missed.

Madeline was a dear friend of my mother. They were friends since the first grade. I always loved when she called my mother and I answered the phone. We had great conversations discussing jewelry and fashion. I also fondly remember going to visit the family in OCNJ and eating sandwiches on the beach that Madeline made. Every sandwich was labeled and delicious. I also loved how much Tom adored Madeline. Her laughter and sense of humor brought great joy to so many.
Sending love and my condolences to the entire family.

I remember my first memory of Aunt Lynn, when I was about 5 or 6. My family and siblings were going to spend an afternoon together at Uncle Tom´s and Aunt Lynn´s. I was very excited to play with my cousins and remembered how beautiful, kind and attentive my Aunt Lynn was. She made me feel special and important. I felt so loved and lucky to be a part of this happiness.
