Dear Alan,
I was deeply saddened to learn that beautiful, adorable, funny, witty, intelligent Lynn had passed on.

I am so very sorry for your profound loss.

I always felt that the two of you were soul mates and best friends, going back as far as I can remember.

I know she will live on forever in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved her.

I wish you and your loved ones the inner strength to go on living "One Day At A Time" without her physical presence.

With Heartfelt, Deepest Sympathy and Forever Friendship,
Benita

Alan, I was so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. The obituary was beautiful and I can remember vividly our growing up together - the club we had, etc.

Lynn wrote in my autograph book from Bragaw - "you pulled my arm, you scratched my eye, I hope you don't sit next to me in the new Jr. High".

I will always remember and treasure those years growing up - I have thought of you through the years many times.

My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

Alan - I don't know if you remember me, but I lived across the street from you on Huntington Terr and was friends with Lynn, Jere Kitay, Sara Lempkowitz, etc.
I am so saddened to read of Lynn's passing. You really captured her life in that beautiful obitiuary. From that description of her life I can still recall the fun days on Bragaw Ave at her home, at Bragaw Ave school, Clinton Pl. Jr HS, and our times on Huntington Ter with all the neighbor kids - Howie Redlus, Ronnie Rosen, just to mention the few names I can remember.

So sorry for your loss and I wish you the strength to get through this sad and hurting time in your life.
