Dear Mike and Family,
There are no words to ease the pain that you are all feeling right now. But may you take comfort in the happy memories that you have of Lyn. We did not all get the pleasure of meeting her and getting to know her. But we do know how many happy memories our parents and Kerry have of their time spent with Lyn. She was a very special and caring person. All those who knew her are better people for their time spent with Lyn. You will all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
With Love,
Jimmy, Kevin, Brian, Timmy, and Kate Conlon

Dear Ellen, George, Ellen-Bridget, Jay, and Mike,
All our hearts are broken since this loss. I think of all of you and Lyn every day. I prayed so hard for God to take care of her and it took me a while before I realized He did so in a different way than that for which I wanted, for he has taken her to be with Him for eternity and relieved her of all her pain and suffering on this earth. She truly is in a better place and so loved by God. She is now your Guardian Angel watching over all of you every day.
I love you all. God Bless.

Dear Mike, Family and Friends,
I am very saddened to hear of Lyn's passing. I am truly blessed that I had the opportunity to get to know and love the great, kind and compassionate person that Lyn was. “Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.”
