Thank you so much for your post. I was so terribly shocked about Lynn's passing. As a fellow Christian, we wrote privately, but I was unaware of how sick she really was. Lynn was so upbeat and helped me thru some rough spots. It broke my heart for you and your little girls to have "mom" go away. May God be with you and please know that I pray for you and your girls everyday and you begin a new normal. Thanks for sharing about her service...I knew she must have many, many friends as she was such a good friend to so many of us on the board.
Love,
Debbie

Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 30 | Mike, Thank You so much for sharing about Lynn. Back in April, I discovered Lung mets too, Lynn and I were both 40 and we sent many emails supporting each other. I was lucky enough to have surgery in June and Lynn cried because she was so happy for me. I don't know what is in store for me now, I have been told that chemo will not work, but Lynn is always there in the back of my mind cheering me on.
I also pray for you and your daughters, it must be very hard without mom around.
Love Sharon
