Message: Dear Lynne's fqmily,
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. Your Mother was so nice to my Mom, Rita Riedesel who lives across the hall from your Mom apt. It was always nice to see her when we would come back to see Mom and our families. The last time I saw your Mom was when I lost my twin brother Pat. She was so compassionate and I will never forget her kind words.
May God Bless all of you and know she will be missed by many.

In the brief moments I did get to know her, she impressed me with her humor, her wisdom, and her stellar winsome qualities. My heartfelt compassion to all who mourn. With you and with her I rejoice in her victory over death in Christ her Savior. In his beloved name.
