Lynn was my sister-in-law. She was a wonderful woman, with a fantastic sense of humor and a kind heart. My late mother loved her and Lynn returned that love in spades with a deep respect that I always appreciated. Lynn can rest in peace and I know she is with her son Danny, brother Keith, my parents, and all her loved ones who went ahead to make her a place. Love you Lynn
