Do you have Messengers or Angels? I really believe I have another, my sister Lynn. 

It was the day after Lynn passed and I was at the store, picking up some comfort food. While waiting in line, I see this man that looks remarkably like Bernie Sanders or Larry David instructing everybody how to bag something or "put this into that!" 

And here I thought he was just a very overzealous manager... or Bernie has a side gig. 

I'm not sure what he was or who he was, but he helped bag my groceries and then paid for my groceries. I caught up to him asking why did you do that? And he said, "Well you looked like you needed it!" to which I said, "Jeez, thanks a lot!" And he quickly says, "I just feel that you lost someone really important to you. I followed him to his car asking last ditch questions as to how this ever came about.. "And did this happen to you?"

And then I said to him, "Then why did you pay for the guy's groceries in front of me??" To which he said... "Because I liked his shirt."

Lynn surrounded herself with memories. Her home was overstuffed with them. Keep her memory. Share her memory with a friend... Lynn will live on. 

  ~ Always & forever, Todd.

Lynn was so fun and creative and encouraged all to find  their true selves. Lynn and I shared a bedroom through childhood  and we would talk and play games til way past our bedtime. Lynn could turn a blanket into a “genie bottle” or a garden hose into a secret communication device between ours and brothers Todd and Keith's bedroom so we could giggle with them in secret. There are many fond fun memories of growing up with Lynn. She loved  to laugh and all who knew her were enriched by her presence. Soar with the angels dear Lynn.

To the Guller Family, i am sincerely sorry for your loss of your sweet & kind sister Lynne,. I remember being at the Guller home & seeing her watch out fir her younger siblings! She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. May she Rest in Peace with her Angels.

I met Ms. Shirley as a insecure teen. She was colorful and unique and had her own identity and interest. She loved sharing her art and her curiosities. She encouraged Ben and Jacob to be fearlessly authentic and biproxy she taught me that too. She has been a guiding light in motherhood for me to both thrive as an individual and love my childern and let then be truly themselves. Thank you Ms Shirley for always making me feel like I belonged and was loved.

Lynn and I met in the lunchroom the first week at our OU dorm in 1968 and bonded instantly. Two 18 year old kids just finding our way in the world. Somehow, we managed to stay in touch for nearly 57 years. The internet allowed us to be in touch often, talking about everything from family to what we were reading or watching on television. Our relationship was so special to me and I’m going to miss her terribly.

Lynn is my beloved niece. She was a beautiful, loving and talented woman.  I’m so happy to have her artwork hanging in my home. I’m happy we lived near each other and saw her frequently. I will miss this beautiful niece of mine.

Lynn and I shared over 35 years of friendship and countless amazing memories.  Lynn never met a stranger. She would strike up a conversation with anybody and everyone. It always amazed me. She introduced me to the performing arts. The first was Beauty and the Beast and I was hooked. Her artistry was incredible. Her imagination was outstanding. She loved donating her time and talents to different organizations. I was always in awe of her work.
 She was always such a gracious host when I visited St. Louis. We went to the Botanical garden, Busch Stadium to see Sir Paul McCartney, the Opera House to see Aretha Franklin, The Loop- Blueberry Hill... I even went to one of her mah-jongg game night as a spectator.  We also enjoyed flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales and such. Always in search of that perfect treasure. We had a blast in everything we did. 
Lynn was very special, who meant the world to me. She will forever be a part of me and live on in my heart. I love you girl. 💕

I remember riding to school with Lynn at University City when we were very young.  She was very sweet and quiet natured.  We reconnected later in life when she invited me to join the NCJW Art Tour group.  I am so thankful I had the opportunity to share fun moments at the Art Museum, Spiro's restaurant along with Linda and Jerry Nissenbaum, and bargain store shopping days with Lynn in the last couple of years.  She really blossomed into a sweet and quiet natured woman with many interests, particularly her family.  My thoughts are with all family members and friends who will miss Lynn's continuous smile and dedicated friendship.
