My thoughts and prayer are with you all during this time of great loss of your Mother, Sister, Grandmother, and friend. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of times spent together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Not only had I been a neighbor of the Lynch family growning up, I had the priviledge of working closely with Coleen at Johnson & Johnson. She was a kind and giving person. I learned a lot about my work and life from her. She will be missed by many..

God Saw You...
by Author Unknown
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
Bob and Frankie -
My thoughts and prayers are with you I can say I know your pain my Mother passed away in 1996 from cancer. Frances Grave- Servis
