Tributes
"Dear Lynn & Family, So very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. What a lovely video tribute of your mom. Though I never met her she looked like she lead a life of love, joy, and happiness surrounded by her family and friends. You look just like her! Please know you're all in my thoughts and prayers. Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are loved and are friends. Love, Lisa Bloomfield, Tina (Bloomfield) Dorofy, Amy (Cady) Coffmann, Siobhan (Foley) Nicklow, and Patti Montrois"
