K&KM May 28, 2025, 8:25 pm Lynn was such a special lady. My Mom & I both remember when the class of ‘87 graduated at church, & I sat in the pew crying because all of my friends were leaving me. Lynn came to me & gave me the biggest hug! She said with tears in her eyes “ I know exactly how you feel. I was you when your Moms class left me when they graduated “ I’ll never forget our connection at that moment & her kindness to a very sad teen. The kindest, honest, sweetest lady. Also Mom wanted you to know she remembers the day she met your Dad. She said “Karen, I’m going to marry him!” You are all in our thoughts & prayers!! Sending our love ❤️ Karen & Kristin.

C&SS May 31, 2025, 7:49 pm We met Lynn and Nick at church and became good friends and had breakfast after church many times until Nick's death. We moved to Arizona eight years ago so hadn't seen Lynn for years. Such a positive woman and so loved her family. Our sincerest sympathy to her family.
