I am one of the fortunate people that had the pleasure of enjoying Lynn's company, beginning in the late 80's. While Lynn worked as a freelance graphic designer at a company that I had been employed by, we quickly blurred the lines between work and fun.

I will remain grateful for the gift of Lynn friendship, even though it was fleeting. And I will remember that like all gifts given, they are precious, given from the heart and not to be taken for granted.

For those that knew her, we should be counted among the lucky ones.

(...and Lynn if you are reading this, get to work on influencing management. It will take some convincing to let me in, and I will need all help I can get. Save me a seat.)

A few years ago 9 of us went on a skiing vacation to Breckenridge Colorado. It wasn't a long trip,only 5 days.We all skied until our legs were so sore we could hardly walk. We woke up to beautiful crystal clear blue sky and 8 inches of new powder on our day of departure. By the way it was also 5 degrees below zero outside. There was about a 2 hour window of opportunity.....ski or just hang out? I asked everyone to go one last time. It was either too cold or they were too tired.I had no takers until I got to Lynn. I will never forget the devilish look in her eyes or her reply....Krajci we're wasting time,let's go. Lynn refused to let any piece of life get away. We had a great time for 2 hours and yes we froze our butts off. It was worth it.

Lynn,we're really going to miss you....we think of you often....we will put in a good word for you with the gods of the mountains. See you around...

All Our Love

I couldn't have asked for a sweeter or more supportive softball buddy. We're going to miss you, Lynnie. Godspeed.
