I am so sorry to hear about Lynne passing. Lynne and Gerry were good friends of my parents, Dennis and Bev Chobotar. I know my parents are thankful that they had had a good visit just a few weeks ago. Lynne really lit up a room and took a genuine interest in everyone she spoke to. We will greatly miss seeing her. Sending our thoughts and condolences to you all.
