Lynn was my beloved friend, who will be missed terribly, but in my heart forever, We looked so forward to spending time in my new home with Lynn visiting,and taking her to the Riverwalk and theatre. We shared many secrets and thoughts over the last few years, she was loved very much...I am heartbroken at the loss of her in my life...angela

I will truly miss having my neighbor Lynn at our spaghetti dinners which she enjoyed so much. I so admired her courage and her "up" personality. I used to kid her about being the "unsinkable Mollie Brown." My heart goes out to her family.

Howard and Terry,
We went to grammar school together...formerly Cathy Brown and my brother Jim. I just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and your family.

Lynn set a great example of courage while undergoing some major trials. We always enjoyed our conversations - she stayed upbeat and had a wonderful caring personality. She will be missed - Kevin Green and Susan Weitzman

My codolences to all of Aunt Lynn's family. She was always a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. To my family she was a special person--to my parents she was a kind and thoughtful friend and to me, my brother and sisters, someone who was always happy to see us. Aunt Lynn had a great husky laugh that I will always remember and was fortunate enough to hear it often.

I will miss my Aunt Lynn. I have wonderful memories of her being part of my family since I was a little girl. Her home was always magical to me.
We spent time together every time Aunt Lynn came to California. As she told me about all of the children in her life, her face lit up. She loved her family very much.
There is comfort knowing that she is at peace and no longer fighting cancer.

Lynn was a dear friend and neighbor who put up a long and courageous fight against several serious medical problems. She set us all an example of courage in the face of terminal illness. We shall miss her very much. May her memory be for a blessing.
