You have finally graduated to your wonderful New Life with your beloved Lord. You had so many skills at the law firm – you were sorely missed when you had to leave to deal with your illness. You could be tough as nails or as gentle as a lamb. You blessed us all with your smile and your generosity. Enjoy the Peace, Joy and Love that now surround you.

I had the privilege of working with Lynn for several years and enjoyed her competence and her sense of humor. She will be missed. My condolences to her family.
T. Kelly says
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. My heart goes out to the family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God’s Word refers to death as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.
