Lynn Reisner Obituary

1948 - 2013
Reisner--Lynn Ann, 64, of Forest Hills, NY on January 7, 2013 after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Beloved wife, grandmother, mother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Meant the world to so many; we are all better people just from having her in our lives. Relieved that she has no more pain and suffering. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to mskcc.convio.net/goto/lynnreisner to Memorial Sloan Kettering. As she'd have said - one last "happening" we'd all have rather avoided. We love you, Mom. Forever in our hearts we'll always be together -- Hank, Ali, Brad, Serena, Josh and Dara

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I was a delivery boy at the pharmacy's early years and I found Lynn a great person to work for and work with (she also forgave me for accidentally tossing out the holiday tree)! I was thinking about my early years and was surfing the net about my first job and came upon this tragic news. The world lost a good person, but she has found peace in a heavenly place.

Norman and Freyda want to extend our condolences to you and your family. Hank you may not remember, but we used to go to the pharmacy weekends, we are friends of Esther and Marty.

Lynn - Thanks for being my godmother, you will be missed! You had a great spunk and zest for life and I will always remember you - especially when I think of New Years Eve with fondue and six foot subs.

I never met your Mom, but I knew her through the stories you all told and the photos I saw. But most importantly I knew her through the wonderful son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren that she had. She is always with you because her love lives on in each one of you. Xoxo

Brad, we know your mother through you. She must have been one terrific woman to raise a wonderful, brillant son like you. You've been at her side through this long journey and yet have never lost a beat. Those of us who are fortunate to work with you salute Lynn Reisner!

January 8, 2013

Hank and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Lynn was truly an amazing woman and a fighter! "I will always remember her as "THAT GIRL". I am sure she is in a much better place and will always be watching over all of you. She will NEVER be forgotten.
