Zach and Alexis- I heard about your Mother's passing yesterday and wanted to offer you my thoughts and prayers. Though she didn't make it often CA or me to UT I will always remember her smile and how she enjoyed any and all activities we did together. She was beautiful inside and out. -Cousin Christin

Dear Zach & Alexis: Our sincere condolences. Your mom looked so radiant at Easter. We will always remember her that way, and hopefully you will too. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family.

Zach and Alexis: I worked with your mom for many years in Jordan School District and got to know her well. She was such a great lady and always willing to help colleagues. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Zach and Alexis, My sincere condolences to you and Lyn's other family and friends. My time with Lyn while selling long-term care insurance and enjoying some leisure time together was precious and memorable. What a grand lady she was. I apologize for not keeping in touch with her in recent years. I'm sure that memories of your mother will give you strength and courage in the future. Also, I will be unable to attend her memorial and celebration of life on Saturday, since I have a prior commitment for that evening. Sincerely, Dale Sheld

We were saddened when we saw Lyn's Obituary in today's paper. We only knew Lyn briefly, but sensed what a caring person she was. We purchased her Waterbury Condo from her and spoke a few times by telephone to her. She will be missed by those who knew and love her. She gave of her time to others and we could tell how precious her family was to her. We wish we could have known her better. Our heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your dear Mother. You are in our thoughts and prayers for your comfort. She rests in God's comfort now. With Sincere Sympathy, Rich and Pauline Forster

My prayers are with you. I am a member of the Woman to Woman group, and I just heard about your Mother's passing. God bless you for taking care of your mother.

Dear Zach (and his little sister Alexis whom I remember being TERRIFIED at the Haunted Woods at Wheeler Farm), I don't know if you guys remember me, but I was friends with Zach from 4th-6th grade while you guys lived in Hidden Village and Fair Meadows. I was so sorry to read about your mother in the paper. I remember her as a great lady who made wonderful snacks whenever I went to your house to play Nintendo or have a sleepover. She'd always pay me to take care of your cats (Smudge and Tigger, I think) when you guys went out of town as well. She was always extrememly nice to me, even when we messed up your house. I was glad to hear that she was a fellow Unitarian as well. I know a little something you guys are going through right now as I lost my mother to breast cancer two years ago this week (June 7th 2009). To put it bluntly, it freakin' sucks on so many levels. But I want to tell you both that, in time, you will be able to think of your mother without the crushing sadness. There WILL come a time when the happy memories will outweigh the sadness and the thought of your mother will make you smile instead of cry. Moreover, I notice my mom's influence now more than ever before. I hope you guys will be able to say the same. Your mom sounded like a fantastic woman who impacted many people's lives! And even though we lost touch, I'm guessing she raised two great kids (even though Zach was a Bears fan). Even though I haven't seen you either of you in years, I'm thinking of you and you don't mourn alone. Sincerely, Brett Boberg

Zach and Lex: We all love you so very much and just want you to know that we are here for you. although we did not have the priveliage of meeting her very many times, the times we did share were special. she was a wonderful woman. We love you both and you are in our thoughts. with love The fam

Dear Zachary and Alexis, I am so sad to hear of Lyn's passing. I remember at the family gatherings I was always happy when cousin Lyn would arrive, for she always brought humor, interesting stories, and good advice. My condolences to you and your families.

Dear Zach and Alexis, I know that you will miss your mom terribly. I hope that with time you'll find comfort and joy in memories of her. Thinking of you, Kristin

Dear Zach and Alexis- We are so sorry to hear of Lyn's passing. Her smile and calm personality will allways be remembered along with morning picnics up the canyon. She will be missed by all that knew her. And we send you both our love and prayers. Love and hugs, Michael and Ben

Dear Alexis & Zach, My name is Karen Johnson and met Lyn when she was working diligently with Bob on insurance business. I sold policies with her and Bob for a few years, then had not talked to your Mom since Bob died. I want you to always remember your Mom was truly a gracious lady. We would meet early to go to schools for am faculty meetings and she looked dressed for a fashion magazine, and I was weary and tired. Your Mom was so intelligent yet warm and caring and I loved talking to her, because she was down to earth, a hard trait to find in people these days. She told me about you kids and her eyes shined with delight. You brought her joy. As your heart aches know it is never easy to have a parent die.l The hole in your heart remains. You will miss her always and never get over the huge void in your life now. May you find courage each day to face the hours without your Mom and find comfort in memories of her smile, her words, her humor, her descipline, her concern, and her unmeasurable love for you. My sincere sympathy and best wishes as you begin your grief journey of the death of your Mom. Take time to feel miserable, it is part of the difficult journey. Sincerely, Karen Johnson
