Mom, I can’t believe that you are with aunt DD. How could this have happened to you. You didn’t deserve this. You were too wonderful a person and we lost you too soon. I will pass on all that you have taught me with my children. We will make cakes. They actually do a great job at it already. I will try to get them to be as clean and organized as you, but good luck to me. We laid you to rest today and it was beautiful. You are close to your sister now. Pattie is taking care of your turtles and they will be looked after well. You don’t have to worry about that. I love you and I’m going to miss you so much more than you know. I feel so bad you won’t be there for the girls events, but I know you will be there in spirit and I will always look for signs! Love you forever, Deb

Debbie and Patty,
So sorry for the loss of your mom. So many memories.
One of the earliest being taking a family vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains. All six of us packed into the car. On the way home, both Lynn and Diane making grandpa stop the car every thirty seconds. The reason – to rescue another turtle in the middle of the highway. Grandpa allowing one to be kept and pretending not to notice the second one. Then being pulled over by the state police to see why we kept stopping.
Then high school with both Lynn and Diane practicing cheerleading moves in the backyard.
The joy she had becoming a mother and having parties and soccer practice for both of her girls.
Then her pride in becoming a grandmother.
Taken too soon.

Grandma Lynn, I miss you so much. You were so kind, caring, and loving. You were the best grandma in the world. I can not believe you are in heaven. if you see Opa tell him I miss him so much. (Opa was my grandpa). I miss all the fun times we used to have together Grandma Lynn. Like when Madison had her friend Skyler come over and mommy told us to "get in the car we are going to see the sunset" and it was so beautiful I wish I could see it again with you. You were my best friend I wish you were still here. I miss the times when you me and Kiki would sing the alphabet together and when you would sing a song when we were in the bath. You would say for example on Monday I clean my arms. I really miss that. You just had so much patience and you were so polite and no matter what you would be in such a happy mood. And how you would always ask mommy " how are the girls report cards) and how you would call every weekend just to talk to me and Madison. I do not know what I am going to do without you. You are the best grandma in the world. I love you so so so so so so so so so so so so so much I just cant believe you are gone. I loved you so much. and I still love you.

Mom, Words can't express what a compassionate, caring, patient, talented, and loving person you were. I've been trying my hardest to follow in your footsteps all these years and be as good a mother to the girls as you've been to us. Whether it was coaching our soccer, softball or basketball teams, or being our girl scout leader, you set an example to volunteer and get involved with the community. Whether it was melting chocolates and licking the spatula, or decorating cakes and licking the spoon, you've taught me to have fun making cakes instead of just buying them. When you showed me how to clean my room.....well I got nothing from that. I will never be as neat, clean and meticulous as you. You gave, when you had nothing to give and are completely selfless which I need to learn from. You taught me good work ethic, and helped me to recognize there was a career out there for those silly floor plans I used to draw in elementary school. Thank you for being an amazing grandmother to Sarah and Madison. Although I got annoyed with your parenting advice, the best thing you ever said to me is "Why are you arguing with a 6 year old.... you sound like you are 6". So true! So THANK YOU for all you have taught me. You didn't deserve this. I hope you are finally at peace. We will miss you. I love you, Mom! -Pattie
