Lynn was part of a whole group of us who grew up together. Though life took us in different directions over the years, I'm so grateful we recently began reconnecting - sharing laughs, and memories that made it seem like no time had passed at all. It's saddens me deeply that we didn't get more of that time together with her.
To her family - wishing you peace and strength as you navigate this loss. I hope you find some comfort in knowing how many people carry Lynn's memory with them.
