Tributes
Scott, Amy, Lisa and Lori,
My heart is heavy and I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your Mother.
I fondly remember all of the summer vacations we had visiting your family when we were younger. I remember how much she enjoyed playing cards or Yahtzee! Aunt Lynn was the person who taught me the strategy to score the bonus in Yahtzee! when I young. I have remembered it all of these years and passed it along to Summer.
I love you all and wish I could be with you to help your through your time of mourning.
With sympathy,
Michael

Dear Amy, Scott, Lisa, Lori and all the family...Aunt Lynn took such good care of EVERYONE! She was an excellent nurse and she cared for her parents and other family members through many difficult times. She was a life long supporter of our medical ministry in East Africa and came to visit us in 1990. I know her prayer helped me through many difficult times. I hope that our memories will console us when we are missing her. For now she is at peace with those she loves in heaven....susan
