Your mom was so much fun, loved to joke around and laugh, that is how I will remember her. So many memories of Richmond street and going to the cottage.

Dear Lynn & Family,

I cannot tell you how sorry & sad we were to hear about your parents passing. They both were two of the nicest people and the greatest neighbors anyone could ask for. It's fitting that they're still together forever.

Thinking of you,
