Richie and Susan,
Debbie and I were so sad to hear about Lyn's passing. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. We have so many memories with her and you dad comparing motorhome trips and many parties together. We are praying for the family during this difficult time and know that she and your dad are rejoicing in heaven. Love you....
As our hearts must say goodbye for now to our precious Lyn we are grateful for the time we had with her. She was an inspiration to everyone she saw, spoke to, or even a brief encounter found her the same, filled with joy, hope, compassion and love, and always an encouraging word. She always had kind word and a generous and giving heart.
Her smile and laughter was infectious and contageous. It was an honor and privilege to know and love Lyn. She will forever be an inspiration and bring a smile to me everytime I think of her.
Until we see you again, sister we will live with the endelible impression you left in our hearts and memory.
We will love you forever.

Affectionately called my BFF, Lyn and I met through Richie roughly 7 years ago. She opened her house and her heat to me and many of the men I was mentoring. She was always welcoming and saw humanity through the lens of grace and compassion. She was rare.
My wife (Kate) fell in love with her as well. Lyn not only stood in our wedding, but stood with us through on of the most difficult moments of our lives. She was intensely loyal.
We continue to pray for Richie, Nicole, Susie and all her family and friends. Lyn, our lives are rich with with memories of you and your heart.
We rejoice that you are with Jesus and reunited with Richard, the love of your life.
You are missed.

Miss Lynn loved Amazing Grace and asked me to sing it for her once in her chair at church, do I did. This is Amazing Grace My Chains Are Gone, because I know every chain is now gone. We'll miss this sweet lady, but know she is dancing in Heaven. God bless the family-Alicia (His Courts of Praise Church) .
Ms Lynn was a beautiful human being, she treated me like family since day one.she loved all of Ricky’s friends and she loved when we were hanging out at the house she was just one of the guys. I will miss her and those times. Love you ms Lynn and I will see you on the other side.❤️😘
