Pam I am so sorry. I remember when Lynn would come into M&P just to say hi to you (and aggravate you) and how you would light up. I know it doesn't get much harder than what you have been through and are going through, but it is only temporary for he is the one who is home and we will see him again.

May God look over your families and help each and everyone heal during this time. Pam Lynn was a great young man. You raised him well. I haven't seen him since we were teens but I know how proud of him you must be. I remember as kids I always told him he had the prettiest mom and his cheeks would get so red. I think he was so proud of you. God blessed your hearts.

Pam and Gary, Michael and I are so sorry for your loss. I think Karen Gardner said everything so well, I can't say more, except for the strength and love of a wonderful Mother. I'm sure Gary, that you were a great Dad, I just have seen the love of Pam for her family for so many years. Pam, I know how you loved your boys, it was so evident in everything you did. Peace be still.

Words are not adequate to express my sincere
feelings to each of you.. I remember the young
boy who was always so sweet and loving especially to his Mother. I know he was a good
son,husband and father. He was always such a
good person and that carried through his whole
short life. God has a wonderful angel in heaven
today. Lynn is in a better place with no
pain and Ladd was there to greet him.. We never want to give our children up if only he could be
healthy again but God has his own plan even though it is hard to understand sometimes. Pam, you are a dear friend and I love both you and Gary and am always here for you all. Please
call anytime you need to talk.

Lynn was a very honorable officer that was dedicated to his family, to God and to his students as a resource officer. We enjoyed getting to know him during our soccer games whether near or far, he was always the same and protective of the students. I always will remember our conversation that he said that no matter who you are, he would treat each person with the same respect because we are all the same. We are praying for comfort and peace for his family and friends during this time of sorrow.
