Lynn was a kind, gentle women, who was loved by everyone that knew her. She graduated Middletown High ni 1967. Lynn and I lived across the street from her Mother, (Nana) and her Sister Pam in Middlefield, Ct. She loved her family, her children, and grandchildren gave her an immeasurable amount
of Joy. I remember she used to swim for hours with the kids in
the pool. Until they al turned blue. Made cookies, crafts, homework. Sitting around the table enjoying supper and just being family, I always felt blessed to be part of Lynn's family.
Lynn was always doing something. Lynn loved nature animals, hiking ni the national parks. Scuba diving, tending her flowers and always radiating a positive energy.
One time she staved out all day during a snow storm, shoving out the driveway. She liked the exhilaration and tranquility of being outside alone.
I would like to thank all of her long time caregivers I know it was more than a job, you all loved her, and Lynn loved you. And alwavs made sure she was well taken care of and safe. I
couldn't have done it without you. I am totally grateful to you

Humanity or Planned Parenthood.
There will be a Memorial service for Lynn sometime in July, date to be determined. Please come.
Me and Lvnn don't talk that much anymore. She sits and stares through the back door screen. Al all the news that just repeats itself like some forgotten dream that we both seen.
You know that old trees just grow stronger, and old rivers grow wilder every day. Old people just grow lonesome, waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there Hello. So if your
walking down the street sometime. And spot some hollow ancient eyes. Please don't just pass them by and stare. As if you didn't care, say hello ni there, Hello
