Family of Lynn, My sympathies to all. My husband, George and Lynn were great friends and I'm sure got into lots of mischief together. George died in Jan. 2006. We did attend Mary's funeral and saw Lynn a few times after that. He visited us at my farm when Keith and Phyliss Brandt from Ca. were here. We also got together in Bartlett with several Bartlett friends, and that is where we met Audrey. I am sorry I was unable to attend the services God Bless you all, Doris Eastburn, Sharon, ND06/30/2011 11:21 AM
