Bob, so sorry for your loss. Although we lost contact over the years, Lin was a dear friend and mentor to me when I worked for you guys. I will always remember our bike rides around the country side and to Dawson Lake.

Lin's faith was her driving force behind her caring for others. She helped me through one of my most difficult times in life by offering me strength and humor. She was a wonderful friend! Hugs and love.
