I’m so glad I got to know Lynn over the years through Lorraine Lazouskas (Family)! She was a wonderful person and friend and so very interesting to talk to! I will miss our visits and phone chats and her “your kidding”?! And her laughter, but most of all her kindness and friendship throughout the years! Love and miss you my friend! Look out for us from the other side! God Bless ❤

Buddy and Mark,

I am sorry to learn about Lynn’s death. I hope she didn’t suffer too much. I have clear memory of “Lynnie” (as we called her back when we were little kids on Hillock Ave) sitting on a pony dressed in a cowboy vest with a small cowboy hat on her head smiling. Back then a guy would come by occasionally in the summer walking his pony down the street and you could have your child sit on it and have a picture taken. Your mom or dad must have paid to have the picture taken. My family moved from Hillock in 1953 and being with Lynn became more and more infrequent. I’m glad I attended your mom’s wake a while back and had a chance to reconnect with Lynn. She struck me as a gentle soul. I’m unable to be with you on Saturday for the services. Please know that I will be thinking about Lynn and the two of you as you and others bid a final “farewell” to Lynn.
Be well, your cousin Ed Kazemek.
