I remember Lynn as a classmate at Mill Creek School in 1936. Our teacher was a wonderful woman who was then Miss Chase leter to become Mrs. Ingersoll. Teachers at that time was not permited to be married women so she remain single until she moved to the west. I remember Mrs. Brownlee who was alsays a busy lady and she cared for the barnyard and all who occupied it. I was privileged to have an overnight when I got a year or two older. The Brownlees were good people and examples of caring folks.

...and we went to school together, in those days of yore. A good and lasting friendship of Lynn and his parents and kin, his mother was a Haverstock. A good and decent family.

So sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. We've been praying for him, Pam and the rest of the family. I regret not getting to know him better. I know the last couple of years have been challenging for him. May God comfort and guide you as you adjust to a life without his guidance.

My Mom use to go to Lynn Brownlee to buy her Flowers and her plants every summer until he closed his Flower Business down. We loved going to his house and seeing all of the pretty flowers and plants that he had. Our family just loved him. My dad use to take his lawnmower there to get it worked on if it broke down.

I always loved seeing him in Church and we always spoke to one another in church every time we seen each other.

I am really going to miss him. He was a super neat person to talk to and a really nice guy.

My deepest sympathy to the family...Prayers are going out for all of you. He will be greatly missed by everyone!

God Bless You All -

Im sad to see you go. You will be dearly missed. I am saddened I never took the time to know you better(with me being a stepgrandkid) My dad talked about you all the time. You were an awesome person in my opinion. I hope you are resting in peace with grandma now.
