Lynn was such a dear friend. Always had the sweetest smile, chuckle & frown. We go back to the time we both worked at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital in the late 70’s. Lynn was so proud of her children & grandchildren. So many memories. Thank you Ashli for taking care of her throughout these last few years. She will always be remembered.
I thank Lynn for memories and friendship going back almost 50 years. She was such a sweet person, but strong and determined as she dealt with what life gave her.
My deepest sympathy to family on the loss of your dear Lynn.
