My thoughts are with you in this sudden loss. Lynne was always gracious, giving and kind. I remember the road trip to Unity, that was the epitome of “Are we there yet?!”
Lots of Love to you

Lynne rest in peace. You will be missed.
I am shocked and saddened to have just learned of Lynne’s passing. Our time at Unity College gave me many fun and happy memories, and a bond of friendship that will always remain even though we have not see each other in years. My thoughts and condolences go out to her family and friends and those that enjoyed her kindness and good humor over the years. Thinking of you and remembering Lynne’s joyful spirit.
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS LYNNE. I DID NOT KNOW HER BUT SPENT SO MUCH TIME WITH HER AUNT ELINOR GROWING UP. JEAN WAS ALWAYS NEAR AS I SPENT ALOT OF TIME AT THEIR HOUSE ON EMMETT AVE. THEIR MOM AND DAD WERE ALWAYS SO NICE TO ME AND ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL WELCOME THERE. I VISIT BROOKDALE CEMETERY OFTEN AS MY BROTHER HERB AND HIS WIFE ARE BURIED ALONG SIDE OF MR.AND MRS.FRIEND. PLEASE SEND MY CONDOLENCES TO ELINOR AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY.
