I was blessed to walk the path of happy destiny with Lynn. We were friends of Bill W. and shared many laughs, tears, triumphs, and pain together. She loved her family, her church community, her "Spartans", her various pets, and had such heart. I truly miss her and wish her family peace.
ReplyDeleteLynn once served on the Sugar Loaf Village Association board. My lasting memory of her was at an SLVA annual meeting, where her feet didn’t reach the floor and her legs swung freely under the table. Her small stature and ever-present smile reminded me of an elf. Even with numerous disappointments and setbacks, Lynn never failed to express gratitude for the gifts she had.
