I’m so sorry for your loss. Lynn and I met Lynn while attending school at Northwest HS. We were in the same class and participated in Color Guard together.
She had a way of lighting up a room. She deffinately left a positive mark on the world.
Rest in Peace my friend, I will miss you.
My sympathy for your family’s loss. I have known Lynn since 1973 in Junior High and at High School. I’m really sorry for not getting together with her before she passed away. May she rest in eternal peace.
