To Lyn's family we extend our deepest sympathy. My husband Don went to school with Lyn @ JC and both of us worked at the phone co. with her. In 1977 several of us stayed all night at the Arena in line for Elvis tickets, I still have the pictures she took of him. Also remember her love of Barbra Streisand.
Lyn, may you Rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Linda's passing. She was in my homeroom, #27, with Mr. Iaonne at JCHS. We sat near each other and we had fun talking and joking with each other.

I had the great pleasure of having Ms Lyn as an aide in our photography classroom. She was also an aide in most of our technology education classes at JCHS for a few years. What a joy. When we made a deck of cards to learn photo terms patterned after "Old Maid", she called herself my "Old Aide." Her sense of humor and heart felt laughter will be remembered for years. One of her best costumes at halloween time was dressing up as a picnic table. she had a really rough time getting on the school bus with it on. What a courageous person. Love you and will miss you.

I'll forever remember your contagious laugh and smile....and when you used to repeatedly play Snoopy Vs. The Red Barron for me and play Santa Clause at our annual Christmas parties at grandma's house. I wish I could have seen you or talked to you one last time and let you know how much you meant to me.
