I graduated a year after Lyn, but have fond memories of her. I remember she was a great basketball player.
To Charles and the entire Whalin family,
It’s time such as this that words fail to convey thoughts. I knew Lyn on a limited social basis. We did share common views when sharing on Facebook.
My fondest memory is of a visit to your home with Becca. The welcome and warmth she showed a little girl left a mark on my memory.
My hope for each of you is the sense of loss is short and the precious memories long.
Hugs to all.
Thank you so much….
Sorry for your Lise Chuck. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
We both loved her so….
I am so sorry to hear about Ms. Lyn she was a sweet lady. Prayers for Allen and Marilyn and the rest of the family.
I just learned for Lynn’s passing . I, too, have fond memories of Lynn.. Watching her play basketball for the Eagles. She was amazing and grew to be a loving and caring woman with many wonderful traits. She will be missed by all.
