My heart is full as I reflect on time spent together with Aunt Lynn. My thoughts quickly turn to a simple gesture of love that will be with me forever. Without fail, at family gatherings, Aunt Lynn would find me, reach up and grab hold of my face with both hands, look into my eyes, and while squeezing my cheeks express her genuine love and appreciation for me. No matter the difficulty she faced in her own life, she always brought joy to mine. Aunt Lynn truly encompassed all that is good. I wish I could attend the funeral services, but unfortunately circumstances dictate otherwise. I will be there in spirit. Much love to my cousins, aunts and uncle. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mark

I will sure miss Lynn sitting out on the front porch, where she was enjoying the view of the mountains, and I will miss visiting with her. She was always so sweet!

When I think of Aunt Lynn I will always remember the twinkle she had in her eyes! She was always laughing and so much fun to be around! I can remember the very long drive (it seemed so as a kid) we used to take to her house as we drove State Street all the way from Sandy to Orem (before the fwy). It was so much fun to be at her home with all my cousins! We would slide down those wide stairs on our butts, pick endless amounts of cherries and drive my sister nuts as we would wait for her to go into the downstairs bathroom, turn on the light and shut the door only to have us turn the light off and run! Such wonderful memories! Aunt Lynn was a wonderful woman! When I became a step-mom I would think of her often in awe as she did what I was doing only in larger numbers! She was a great example to me of someone who just keeps going despite the adversary and trials in life.
