I was so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. I lived up the street from Lynn and we were childhood chums. Lynn was an exceptional girl -beautiful, smart, artistic, athletic, and funny. We whiled away many happy hours on Pilgrim Avenue, playing softball, hopscotch, Barbie dolls, drawing, reading teen magazines, and listening to her brothers' record albums. I feel certain that Lynn will find peace and happiness in the next world because she deserves it. My condolences to the Corey and Peters families. You were everything to Lynn. God bless.

It occurred to me at Lynn's funeral that I hadn't seen her in well over 40 years. Not since our NDA years back in the early 70's! I still felt the need to go as I've always remembered her as she was as a young teenager - a very quiet, sweet, shy member of our class. I liked her very much. Although she was not one to seek attention, she obviously made an impact on my life as my memory of her is as vivid today as it was back then.

On behalf of all of us here at Community Healthlink please accept our condolences for your loss. Lynn was such a beautiful person inside and out and will be missed. She always welcomed me with a big smile and an even bigger "Oh, HI!". She loved her family so much so I hope that you have peace in knowing that she is with her family all together in paradise, no more suffering and no more pain...We just learned of her passing and are sorry to have missed her services. Thank you for mentioning us her in her obituary as she was like family to us as well...

Lynn was a friend of mine in high school. She was beautiful, sweet, shy, and smart. She enjoyed being with people who offset her quiet nature, which I think is why she chose to hang around with the likes of me and our friends. While I lost touch with Lynn long ago, her passing has had an effect on me. My memories of her are so nice! I know she is now at peace in the arms of her Lord, as the priest at her funeral made it clear that she was utterly devoted to God and ready to meet Him. May God bless all those who help Lynn along her difficult path on earth.
