Lynn had so many special gifts that she shared so freely with our Impact friends - compassion, enthusiasm, cheerfulness. Lynn was always quick to reach out and quick to help. Lynn was kind, generous and thoughtful, always offering some new insight into life's challenges. I will miss Lynn's ready smile and her "checking in" phone calls. There's a beautiful glow around the empty space she has left behind.

How saddened I was to learn of Lynn's death. She brought her smile, wit and caring to all of us in the IMPACT program. We will carry the torch for her and all those faced with breast cancer. I will miss you, Lynn.
