We just had to let you know that Craig and I still have you and Lynn and your children in our thoughts and prayers. The fact that Lynn lost her hard fought battle with cancer and has left all of you at such a young age is haunting.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. I have so many wonderful memories of Lyn and the entire family. My sisters and I spent several summers with Michelle and Mitch on the corner of Ottawa and Dodd having lemonaid and cool-aid stands. My Mom and Lyn spent all of those days in their kitchens mixing their hearts out!

I was shocked to hear of the loss of Lyn, We worked together for many years and she was such a dear friend. I would call her on her birthday and we exchanged Christmas cards yearly. Last year she sent a picture of Atari who she adored, she was a special lady. I know you are all devasted at her loss. I will say a special prayer for all of you.
