I will always remember Lynne for her shining smile and helpful attitude as Amy and Eric were in my student ministry. She was one of those poeple that I knew was on my team and ready to help, along with Rik. Having someone like her in your corner is like gold. I'm sure many people had the same experience. Amy, Eric, and Rik my prayers are with you. I will be more than happy to help any way I can.
