March 2, 2020 at 2:45 pmI knew Lynn as a roommate while we were in graduate school at WashU, GWB School of Social Work. What a wonderful lady & with a wicked sense of humor that entertained us always & kept us on our toes! Many lovely memories! May you, Harry & James, pull your own memories of her close. She loved you with all her heart & I know is still watching over you. Cherish those memories & grab onto that strong woman that she was. Sorry I can’t be there for her service.

February 27, 2020 at 2:53 amDear, beautiful Lynn … time finally did completely slip away from us and we won’t be comparing new books we’ve read anymore. From the Girl Scout troop at Concord grade school to Lindbergh High, the as roommates for our first year at Lindenwood, I learned so much from you. May your journey to your new beginning be joyful and sweet.

February 27, 2020 at 12:09 amI moved to St. Louis in the middle of my junior year in high school. A very difficult move for me as a teenager. Lynn was the first person I was introduced to as a friend at Lindbergh High to show me around school and help me get adjusted. I’ve never forgotten her kindness and friendliness and so appreciated her helping me. Such a lovely person.
