Dear Terry and Denny,
I’ll never forget your beautiful Mom and Dad and their obvious love for each other and of you two and your children. They were so very proud of you.  I miss them.

It has been 5 years but it seems like yesterday that, that awful decease took your life. I want you to know that your brothers and sister remember and speak your name whenever we get together. You know well that your boys love you and think of you often. Our lives move on and we bring you with us with love. 
Tom

It’s now been four years since you left us Lynn in the first wave of COVID. It was such a shock to your kids and your siblings. Your boys were soldiers and stayed with you in the hospital. It was not allowed but somehow they convinced someone. 
  I talked to your sister Shannon and brother Tim today and we spoke about how we missed you. You will always be remembered and missed. Love you. 
Tom

I can’t believe how time has passed so quickly..  I miss Lynn so much.   I will always carry her in my heart. We had such wonderful times together.  
I  imagine her now in heaven dancing with Tom

It’s been three years now and you are remembered and missed every day by those who love you. You live on in our memory. 
Tom

Knowing Lynn was a joy!  She was always beautiful, sophisticated yet down to earth with love and compassion.  She had a terrific sense of humor and could always lift me up when life was tough.  Love you, my friend and I will never forget you. 💗


Thinking of Lynn today with gratitude. Remembering how she sat in the room as my dad’s last hour was approaching, quietly saying the rosary. Offering comfort and kindness to Tom, my mom, Karen and me. Thank you, Lynn.  

Dearest Looney family,
Lynn will always be in my heart. Cannot believe that’s it’s already a year she’s been with Our Lord.  I’m sure she’s dancing with Tom - two beautiful souls together again 💙💗

It is lovely to read the reflections of Lynn’s friends about her involvement in their lives. She was a sweet and generous friend, as these comments attest. Lynn was a wonderful sister and she is missed by her family. It is comforting to know of her impact on others. 

We are so sorry for your loss.  Lynn loved coming to class and learning new methods of painting and was eager to start another session. During these difficult times, we just want to tell you, that we are here for you and if you need anything, please let us know.

I met your sweet mom because my husband Ray played tennis with your father. We often sat close by in church.  Ray thought highly of your dad and it was always a pleasure to interact with them. May your memories sustain you at this time.

Dear Terry and Denny,  I remember your wonderful Dad & Mom so very well from St. Cajetan’s parish.   Thinking of them makes me smile as they both always seemed happy to see people and share.  They also raised two great sons.  You & your families are in my thoughts.

I am Julie O’Briens cousin.  I used to spend nights with the O’Briens.  Jim and Mary Ellen.  
I watched their beautiful family.  As a mom of three boys, I could not live up to her.  She had calmness, kindness, patience, radiance, love and always behaved in a classy way.
I last talked with her at Jimmy O’Briens funeral.  We caught up.  I just thought how beautiful and elegant she was!  
Her son brought her, and I was touched by that.  That her boys took such good care of her, as she did them growing up.
Such a lovely lady.  She treated Julie like her daughter.
Her age did not do justice to her energy, her youthfulness, the joy she brought to people.
The last time I saw her, I spoke about how she made people feel special.  Even me.
I am so sorry for her boys, grandkids, friends and anyone who was lucky enough to cross paths with her.


Denny & Terry,
We are so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a beautiful woman, who always had a smile for everyone. We will miss our little visits after 4:00 Mass at St. Cajetan.
You & your family will be in our prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom - she really was a beautiful woman who radiated life.  You and your families are in my prayers.

I was lucky enough to be in art classes with Lynn at McCord Gallery for years but didn't realize for a while that she was married to my dad's cousin. She was such a kind person with good humor and she had a wonderful presence and spirit. I'm glad I was able to talk with her the last time we were in class together. She was finishing her painting of a Renoir cafe scene and I told her I hoped she was going to frame it and display it at home. It was beautiful. I along with all her friends and fellow artists at McCord are deeply saddened by her loss and will miss her greatly. Condolences to her friends and family.

Terry,  Denny and Family:       

 We are so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a beautiful person inside and out. We will always remember the fun times with your parents at Kennedy Park.

Our family has lost a vital, creative, lovely woman.  A tremendous loss to her children and grandchildren and to the whole family. To us, she was Aunt Lynn. She had a beautiful smile and a sincere compliment every time we spoke. She was an artist and I still treasure my Santa Claus carving from her. It is out every Christmas and will remain a special keepsake.  I was 15 yrs old when my Uncle Tom introduced Lynn to the family.  They married in 1966 and raised a family they have kept close.  When Uncle Tom's long journey through Alzheimer's required tender, loving care and constant companionship,  Lynn was there.  As his short-term memory faded, he remained happy and laughing and always looking good.  Lynn took on the very demanding role of care-taker and was the reason for his positive disposition through his journey.  She listened to the his stories and answered his many questions.  She was there every single day for him, and whenever she left the room, Tom's first question was "Where's Lynn?" She was never far; upstairs or in the kitchen, perhaps.  She was his lodestone, his rock,  as the years rolled by.   We witnessed this; we admired it.  I hope we told her often, but surely not often enough,  how much her love and commitment to our Uncle was appreciated by us.  She brought glamour and art, along with her smile and love,  into our Southside Irish clan and we loved her.

Lynn always the talented lady will be sorely missed. She loved her family and always gave us the rundown of all their talents and exploits. My Condolences.

When I think of my Aunt Lynn I remember her laugh, her wit and her warmth.  I remember how she would sometimes  take my hand, squeeze it  and just hold it without saying anything. I always felt loved, seen and understood without either of us  having to say a word.  She knew how to light up a room.   I will miss her stories, her sass, her strength and her big bright heart. 

Denny, Terry and Family,

We are so very sorry for your loss.  Thinking of you all and sending prayers for your strength and comfort during this difficult time.

The Botta Family

Dear Terry, Denny and family,
I am so sorry to read about your mom, and offer my sincere condolences. I am so sad, and can’t imagine how you feel.

My parents were friends with Jean Looney Schumacher, and your uncle Jack & aunt Kay. We all lived in the same apartment building in Visitation. Your dad would visit and as a little girl I was crazy about him...he was nice to me, would laugh and talk and be so sweet. And then when he met your mom and I got to know her, I was crazy about her, too. At all the family parties through the years I would seek them out to talk and catch up. Your mom and I always hit it off, and had the best laughs and talks.  My mom and I were at your dad’s retirement party, and I am sure I met you that night. I have just the most wonderful memories of both of your parents and am blessed to have known them. 

Thinking of all of you at this terribly sad and hard time. You had a gem of a mom. 

With love, Marianne Rogers Trotter

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have known Lynn for most of my life through my friendship with her niece Karen and my brother-in-law, her nephew Steve. My memory of Lynn is that of a wonderful and kind woman. Just seeing her walk into a room brought a smile to my face. It was like finding a friend in a crowd. She always made everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. She will be missed, but will live on in all our hearts. 

So sorry for your loss.

Mary Ellen Radtke Bogucki and Family

Terry and Denny, 

Your mother was such a wonderful, sweet woman. I always loved seeing your parents around the neighborhood, at Kennedy Park, or at church on Sundays. While I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm happy that they can be together again. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. 



Denny, Terry and family,

 I am so very sorry for your loss.  Your mom was such a kind and beautiful woman.    Now you have another beautiful angel watching over all of you.   Prayers and hugs to all of you❤️

Dawn Sobieszczyk & Family

So many warm and loving memories, but this one brings a smile to my face... As everyone knows, my Aunt Lynn was a gifted artist.  When I moved away from Chicago I had requested a painting from her to remind me of Chicago.  Several months later a wrapped package arrived from her and I could hardly wait to unwrap it.  It was a beautifully framed oil painting of...a Chicago style hotdog?  She had a wonderful sense of humor and great laugh.  A few weeks after that a second oil painting of the Chicago river and bridges arrived.  Amazing!  Like so many of you, her art and the memories attached with them are a great source of comfort.  Love and miss you! 

Lynn, will miss you so much.  We had so many good oil painting
lesson together and memories of being girl friends.
I know you will look down on us all.
Miss you already,
Janice Haraburda 

Dear Denny and Terry,
Our prayers are with you .  We will all miss your beautiful Mom. Your memories of her unconditional love will forever give you comfort. Rest In Peace dear Lynn.
Christine Scales and family

Aunt Lynnie, so many things I loved about you. Every summer the Wilson’s looked forward to your arrival. Adam and I always loved making Chicago pizzas with you. The smile you put on moms face and the tears you both shed at the departed gate. I loved your hands Lynn. The way you moved them and how your nails were long and always painted a pretty color. I loved your Mary Kay phase, oh those samples. You had such style and always wore fabulous eye glasses. I remember sitting side by side in your art room and you giving me painting lessons. What a gift you had. You could do anything. I remember our chocolate martini or margarita nights. I will alway invision your warm beautiful smile. Your calm and reassuring voice. The love you had for all. I miss you so much and love you to bits! 

On her trip to Egypt, Lynn remembered that the young grandson of her friend, my mom Grace, loved everything Egyptian and Indiana Jones themed. She mailed him a postcard with famous landmarks. The joy she brought to a little guy she barely knew was immeasurable.  Rest In Peace Lynn.

Terry and Denny, sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. The real Tom will have his partner at his side again. Hopefully God will take this plague from us soon
Tim and Sharon Hynes 

I got to know Lynn when we shared a room  when the Crafter's went on a trip to Springfield.  I could see what a devoted wife and mother she was..  So proud of her sons, their families and her grandchildren.  Over the many years the Crafters spent a lot of time together.  Lynn was so talented but never too busy to help one of us that needed a little help.  She was a true friend, a delight to be with and will be missed by her family and her many friends.  God bless you Lynn you brought a lot of joy to many of us.
Love,
Elaine Treaber

The Mucker family is so glad that Lynne (and Tom) came into our lives and family.   We are better people for having known them.

Talman just won't be the same without Lynn. I always loved looking at her yard and seeing the results of her artistry. Lynn was a great person, a great neighbor, and we'll miss her so much. 

I met Lynn through Quilters Plus quilt guild, and immediately recognized her as a terrific person.  As I got to know her better I admired her artistic talents and her ability to find enjoyment in nearly everything.  Anyone who knew was the better it.

I was warmed by Lynn’s beautiful smile when we’d pass in the neighborhood or at Mass. She was such a beautiful woman,animated with a beautiful spirit. My deepest sympathies to Terry,Denny and family.

Terry and Denny,

Both of you, and your families, have been a joy to your mother.  In these difficult decisions you've had to make you can be sure that she feels the love and confidence she's grown to know in you.
Our families have shared many great memories, and now we share the pain that comes with this great loss.
As we brought this difficult message to our family and your mother's friends the grief of loss is palpable.

Be sure that our prayers and love are with you.

Bill & Charlot and the whole clan.

My heart is broken over Lynn’s loss.  We had spent many happy times together at the theater, at breakfasts, lunches and dinners and weekends in Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan and other things too numerous to mention.  I see her influence in my home every day - in the lovely paintings she gave me and the arrangements of family photos on the wall.
She will live in my heart forever,
Terry and Denny, she was so proud of you and loved you so much.  She was devoted to Katie and Amy and so proud of her 5 grandchildren.
She said “I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful family”.
Shannon, Tom and Tim. She always spoke of her love and devotion to you Again”I’m lucky”.
Rest In Peace my friend- you led a beautiful life which was cruelly taken away. Love you

Denny and Terry, our condolences to you and your families upon the passing of your mom, Lynn.  She always has and always will hold a special place in our memories. 
Take care.  God Bless.
The Ewerts 

Lynnie, my sister, was the best sister and mom I could have ever had. I could talk with her through good times and bad. She would listen and always end it on a positive note. We cried till there were no more tears and laughed until our stomachs hurt. She was the best. 
She loved life and was adventuresome. Imagine rock climbing at age 80!? She was an outstanding artist. Lynn was an avid reader, as well. 
Lynn loved her sons, Terry and Denny. They helped her all of the time and never minded doing it. They were her loves. She would constantly say to me, “Why am I so lucky?” I would say ,”because you showed them so much love.” Lynn adored her grandchildren. They gave her so much joy. 
I am blessed that I have hanging in my home, so many of Lynn’s paintings. Her presence surrounds me. I have so many fond memories of her. 
Lynnie, I know you are now with Our Lord, Mom and Dad and Tom, but my heart is heavy. I miss you  so much. I pray time will help heal. Please remember  this - I will love you forever and ever.

So sorry, Denny, Terry and families.  Lynn and I shared some dynamic experiences and definitely a lot of laughs.  She was a great person.  Once again, so sorry for your loss.
God Bless,
Zita

Lynne, I will miss you.  You were a good friend!

I recently took an art class and was so happy to see that Lynn (an old favorite from Quilter’s a Plus) was the other student.  Lynn was a great lady and had a calmness to her personality and was a pleasure to be around.  My deepest condolences to her family on their loss.

So sorry to hear about Lynn.  My sympathies to her family.
Kathy O'Leary

My sister, Lynn, was a kind loving person.  I always felt that she was a supporter of my life's activities.  She would listen to what I had to say and always was interested.  
She was talented in so many different art forms.  I told her that she must have gotten all of the "creative genes" our parents had to give.  She was always taking classes to explore new areas or techniques.  
Thank you to Terry and Denny for all they did for their Mother.  They are outstanding sons.
We love you and will miss you.  Our lives will be different, but we have wonderful memories.  

With her energy, enthusiasm and creativity Lynn made life more joyful for lots of people including me.  She was a delightful woman with a joyful and soaring spirit. My heartfelt sympathy to all of her family.

I so sorry. I remember When I would sit with your dad so she could get out. I missed her when I moved. But I would see her in church
And send her Christmas cards.

From the Kelly Family: May God Bless you all. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. God Bless and watch over you. 

My dear sister Lynn, I love you and will miss you.  You left us so quickly and under circumstances so unnatural that we were unable to morn and comfort you. This virus is so vicious.
God bless your sons, Terry and Denny, for their unrelenting care right until the end.  We will always celebrate your life and your place in ours.   Tom

Lynn was such a talented, beautiful woman who always made me feel good.  
May her memories comfort you.

Our hearts go out to your family during this time of loss. We hope that the memory of Mrs. Looney's beautiful smile and great love wraps you in its warmth. She lives on in all of you, your smiles, compassion and kindness.
