Oh my goodness what to share about… Mrs. Jeffers! Wait as I became older she said.. Ann you know you can call me Lynne! What a wonderful second set of parents I had growing up! I once gave Lynne a Card on Mother’s Day that said your were the best 2nd Mom a girl could ask for! Amy, Julie and Laurie I love you with all my heart and will remember your Mom for her strength, humor, guidance and just being AMAZING woman she was for the rest of my life. I can see your Dad standing with open arms : ) My thoughts, Prayers hugs & LOVE are with you right now and always.

Amy, Julie and Laurie, you have my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. Some of the greatest memories of my life are times spent with your family. Your parents were great gifts of God to us that had the joy to know them. If there is any consolation, Jan and Lynne are reunited after a 26 year abscence. The tears of today are consoled by the laughter of a lifetime with JR and Lynne. Best to you in this difficult time.

Oh, my buddy, Lynne. How inspiring to work with you. You always had a smile on your face for me whenever we would meet. You could not find a more dedicated employee. I will miss you.

I guess I should read the paper more often….had I known about this, I would have been there for all of you. I remember endless summer nights roaming the subdivision, swimming in your pool, partying in your basement and playing horse in your driveway….So sorry that I heard about this via the newspaper. Just seeing your mom’s name, brought back many memories of all of our childhoods…..and how sad it is that when we get older and start families of our own, we tend to forget about our childhood and all those that at one time or another have been in our lives…..we had our share of both good times as well as bad…but bottom line, I will always remember your dad giving me the nickname “Wiggles” and your moms awesome pistachio torte….your dad waiting a long time to see her again…..may they both live together in peace…from my family to yours…..thanks for sharing both your parents with me. God bless Patty Derby
