My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I will always remember the times Lynn helped me with my 2 left feet and the good time we had at clogging class. Lynn will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her.

We were very sad to hear of Lynn's passing. We shared some wonderful times with her. She was a dedicated dancer, a fellow animal lover & dear friend. I can still see her smiling face marching in the Parades down veterans with us as a MidKnight Star. She wore that uniform proudly. She held the postion in the Denim n Lace Cloggers as my Sunshine Secrectary and she never missed sending Birthday cards & Get Well Wishes to the membership. She did a great job letting people know they were special. We spent many a Tuesday nights together, clogging, laughing and sharing our lives with her. One of my fondess memories was my last dance revue. Lynn performed a lyrical routine. Her & I worked really hard on this dance number because she was dedicating it to her "Harry" so, it had to be Special. She performed it to perfection.

I will miss you Lynn. You were a very special friend to me. I will always remember you and the good times.

On behalf of Merl & I and the members of Denim n Lace Cloggers, the Midknight Stars, and the Dance Students of Wilson Academy -
I would like to express our deepest sympathy to Harry and to Lynn's Family.

We all share in your loss.

Sincerely, Judy & Merl Wilson

Lynn was an avid volunteer in many arenas. She was a valued champion of Jefferson SPCA and shared her love of all living creatures through her generous, tireless and selfless support.

The world is a better place because of you, Lynn. I will miss you so much.

Lynn was one of the kindest people I know. She had a love for animals and people that was unwavering. She always made us laugh and clogging would not have been the same without her. She was supportive and dedicated to the group and never missed a performance. I am glad she chose us to join.

I also love her for the acceptance and love she and Harry showed to my son. It meant alot to me.

Lynn you will be missed but I know that you and my Buster are playing together right now and yall will take care of each other until I see you again.
