All our love to the Hickman family! I was so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. It has been many years since we left Mt. Vernon and lost touch with you, but memories of your girls having great times with our daughter Katie are very happy ones. Lynn made the most fun and lovely birthday cakes! We had great visits getting to know each other. I know in my heart she is in a better place and she will be missed! Love from Kellie and George Burlingame

Larry, Tiffany and Robyn,
The service you held for Lynn yesterday was beautiful and truly depicted the woman she was. One of my favorite memories of Lynn{and she giggled while she told it) was of the time she went to pick the girls up at the bulb field at the end of the day and they had been fired. The girls came running to the car, with big smiles on their faces, all excited over being fired. I have such fond memories of time spent with your family and your home was always a fun place to be! Now, you will all continue on holding all those memories in your hearts.

Lynn was like an adopted Aunt to me these past 23yrs. She will forever remain in my memories as a very warm, generous and loving person. I know she will now being sharing memories with my recently passed father whom were good friends.
May she rest in peace.

Lynn was special to our whole family. She was a friend to everyone that she met. The last few years were very difficult because of health reasons, but I never heard her complain once.
