It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a beautiful woman, wife and mother. Lynn always had a smile and a happy word to share with others. She was delightful to work with and will be sorely missed by all who knew her. May God's loving arms be around you and the peace you deserve surround you in eternity.

Lynn - I wish for you all the beauty, peace, & serenity you truly deserve. I treasure the irreverant talks we had about so many things. I imagine you now in a glorius field of wildflowers, maybe on a swamps edge, gazing out over the most amazing sunset that God has saved just for you. Your's is a truly beautiful spirit. We'll all miss you. For Lynn's family and friends - I shared Lynn's office at "Midwest Express" for much of the last decade. What I remember most is regardless of challenges in Lynn's personal life and with our shared pain at Midwest she ALWAYS could find something to laugh about. I have no memories of Lynn ever being truly angry at anything. She was ever full of joy and happiness for others when things were good for them. Lynn was complex and wonderfully simple at the same time...a truly unique and special person. A great friend and co-worker. Greg - Lynn just beamed when she talked about you and your worm farm project. We loved to talk about gardens, flowers, and nature. Shelley and Trevor - your mom loved you more than you can possibly know. My deepest sympathies to you all.
