I cannot believe she is gone, but as the saying goes, "only the good die young" and she certainly was one of God's special people. I worked with Lyn at Pixley and organized an in- house Christmas Party for first shift there a year ago knowing it would be the last Pixley Christmas for a lot of us. It was a wonderful celebration with lots of smils, continuous raffles, and all kinds of Christmas Spirit and great food in the Cafe. Even though none of us were certain of the future with the bad economy situation and the job cuts, Lyn remained a tower of strength and an excellent example for all of us there even though she was suffering terribly. She'd say "Hey Girly" to me and I would give her a very gentle kiss on the cheek and she would smile brightly through all the pain on the days that she could make it until 2 or 3 p.m. When Brian W. pulled her name for the first prize raffle basket and I called her into his office, she was shocked saying she never wins anything. It was meant to be. So long, brave heart, you will be missed. Mike, Ian and Heather, my sincere condolences. I moved to PA in August of this year and did not find out about your loss until the day before Thanksgiving when I came to the area for the Holiday. I am heartbroken. I would have come a few days earlier if I had known so I could attend the service and be there for you in person, but no one contacted me. May all the wonderful memories of your wife & mother help you through these sad times. God Bless.
