Doris, and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I only met her once at Alicia's wedding. The previous posts tell me she was a wonderful sweet person. I'm sure she was, as she has you for her sister! My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless! Alica Uhlir

I only had the chance to meet Lynn a couple of times; but, each encounter was one of an uplifting nature. She was very easy to get along with and was a happy person. I am happy to have had the opportunity to meet such a special lady. My prayers are with her family and dear friends. JoAnn Banach
