I am so incredibly sad to hear that Lynn's life here on earth was cut short. Lynn and I we very good friends back in High school. We reconnected through Facebook messaging after I discovered we had family in common through my daughter in law Brandie. To her family and Kevin I hope her memories bring you comfort and know that she is watching over us all. I can still hear her blustering laugh and giggle. Much love to you all.

To the family of Lynn my deepiest condolences , I meet Lynn in 1991 when we were working together at Wal-Mart on the south side of DSM. we both were going though simlar issues in life at that time and quickly became friends.we lost touch for a while until I ran into her working at Aldi and we started talking again . She was in a much better place in life and later i meet her Husband Kevin and realized why very quickly because I had know Kevin myself through School at Saydel and I knew what a good man he turned out to be . My prayer are with you Kevin and family
