Lorna,Lana and families- very sorry about Lynne´s death. I know you will miss her but she will be very much with you in spirit , especially at family events. May you have a better New Year in 2021.

I´m sorry I didn´t know about Lynne´s passing until Lorna notes it on her Christmas card.. God Bless You All ! Love, Joan

I worked with Lynne for many years at Chandler Magnet, including working in a small office right outside of her "refrigerator" when she was an Instructional Coach. She cared deeply about the lives of her students and colleagues, making a positive impact on countless lives. RIP.
