RIP Aunt Lynn. Unfortunately I haven't seen her since PA's funeral in 1989, but I have fond memories of her when I was a youngster. She was always sweet and kind to me. I remember her smile. I am always saddened by the death of a good person. It is from this sadness that a feeling of gratitude emerges. I feel honored to have known them and blessed that their passing serves as a reminder to me that my time on this beautiful earth is limited and that I should seize the opportunity I have to forgive, share, explore, and love. I can think of no greater way to honor the deceased than to live this way.

A dear friend has passed but not before leaving behind many memories of truly fun and great times. The void left behind will never be filled again but those fun times will be remembered forever.
Lynn's physical being may have left us but her smile, her spirit, her wit and humor will live on for the rest of our lives.
No flight attendant will ever enter my cockpit without me thinking of Lynn and her never ending curiosity of "just what exactly goes on when they're up there"!
Beyond all the fun and laughter, Lynn was a strong and good woman. Her fight for her health was a true display of her inner courage and strength.
Rest in peace, dear friend, you will be missed and remembered always.
