Bobby, Gail and Judy:
We were always “the children†and as promised by our God, that season is passing.
Our hearts go out to each of you and your families on the death of Lyn. She will be missed by so many family, church friends, T-Shirt Shop friends and the many of us she spent time with during her lifetime. The memories of growing up ~ from the deer woods to drive in movies to Hog Ball to Shrine trips and the list goes on. Such special memories. May God help you find comfort today and the days forward! Love, Amber (Johnny, Amber, Jake, Erica, Rett and Elleryn)

Heaven gained a great woman. The joy it was to be around her and how she could always make your day better, will be something I will never forget. You will be truly missed and we will meet again.

My last visit with Aunt Lyn was in August, 2017. I went to the T-Shirt Shop to say goodbye before I left North Little Rock to make my way back home to Las Vegas after my dad died.
It always struck me how vibrant and enthusiastic she was and how happy she seemed. There may have been days, but I don’t remember ever hearing her complain that she was having a “bad day†or that the work she was doing was “hardâ€. In fact, I wondered what her secret was since I could not have worked like her, and I was 30 years younger.
Most of my memories are from holiday and Sunday dinners at Grandma and Papa’s house when I was a kid. There’s one group photo that I’m sure everyone in the family has a copy of. Looking at it now, reminds me what a beautiful woman she was, and how much she loved her children.
My family moved from North Little Rock a long time ago, and as a result I lost touch with many people, including Aunt Lyn. Each time I ventured back, I tried to make time to visit, even if only for a few minutes, but it was never enough. We always think we’ll have more time.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Bobby, Gail, Judy and all their family members.

She was a great woman. Always enjoyed her when I would come to visit the shop or when helping Jason with odd and ends at her house. She always made me felt I belonged and will forever be grateful of that. She will always and forever leave a lasting impression on my life as a teenager into my adulthood. She's became what she always was, an angel. Until we meet again Memaw
