Hi Lynn,
Just wanted to say I’m so sorry to hear about you leaving at such a young age. It’s Sheila- Rina’s sister. I know you’re watching everything as it happens so I thought I’d address this to you.
My best memory of you is when you came for Rina’s wedding and you wore a beautiful Indian dress together with Lorna and the 3 of you looked so lovely! I wish it could be posted here as it did capture the sheer joy you had at the wedding! And Rina just did !
You had a lovely smile and laugh and at times I would envy the great camaraderie and soul friendship you three had- quite unique and so beautiful.
You have had an incredible life with what you have done and achieved. Truly amazing!
As Rina said likely everyone will meet each other again so I wish you well Lynn as you rest safe in the arms of our Lord. 
Regards
Sheila

Lynn, Lorna, and me in 1988 at our house in Hawthorne.

My beautiful Lynn in her bedroom at House No 3, Hawthorne, Keele Village. You were so dedicated and studied every day after classes. You were so loved by your classmates from all around the world.

My Dad was visiting and you got along so well with him. My Dad always referred to Lorna and you as his other 2 daughters. This was taken in 1988.

Lynn, you were so excited to not only be my bridesmaid but to be part of a Punjabi - Bruneian - Scottish wedding in 1998. We had such a wonderful time and you did so much to help out.

Lorna (from the UK), Lynn, and I (the Canadian) have been best friends for 37 years. We shared a house together in Hawthorne Village with Maggie, and when she moved out, later with Pat. After our glorious time at Keele University, we returned to our respective homes but stayed in touch. As the group's baby, Lynn and Lorna were like my older sisters. It is hard to pick just one fond memory, but we have always laughed about an incident when the three of us traveled to Scotland. We had heard of a local pub where all the barmen wore kilts, and of course, we had to see for ourselves. As soon as we got out of the car and started walking to the pub, we were attacked by a flock of geese, which we later discovered were the pub’s guard geese. We threw our handbags on the cobbled driveway and scrambled to seek refuge in Lorna’s car. One of the bar lads had to eventually come to the car and escort us to the pub. It would appear that everyone in the pub had been watching us!!

The bond formed in our sisterhood can never be broken and will continue in this life and the next. Lynn was beautiful, intelligent, witty, and so humorous. She had such teeny feet in comparison to my kangaroo-sized feet...lol! Her smile was worth a thousand words, and her laugh was contagious. As someone originally from Brunei, Lynn was my first American–Italian friend, and she taught me so many useful things, like cooking a great spaghetti bolognese, popping a blister effectively, and getting a stuck contact lens out. The last time I saw Lynn was in 2014 in Ottawa, and she was not well. But she promised to get better to visit me in New Delhi, where I was posted. I told Lynn how much she was loved, respected, admired, and contributed to my and everyone’s lives. We kept in touch but never physically saw each other again. I will miss you so much, Lynn, but I know we will meet again when my time comes. We have all lost a one-of-a-kind, but God had more important things for our Lynn to do in heaven.

My dearest Lynn. Lifelong friend since those heady days at Keele University in 1987 when we shared a house with Rina, Maggie and Pat. You were always so kind, loyal and supportive to me. You also loved the UK and we had some great times over the years exploring Scotland, Wales and my home town Liverpool. My boys adored you and your last trip here two years ago was filled with fun, love and laughter. I will always treasure the memory of you cooking risotto for my family on your last night with us... you took so much care getting all the right ingredients and what a gorgeous dish it was! 

I learned so much from you Lynn. Your intelligence, wit and understanding always shone through. And I treasure those transatlantic phone calls where we would just chat for hours.  I am so proud of all you achieved. A teacher, traveller and author. And a great friend. Am going to miss you so much.

My deepest condolences to Dan, family and the Hill community. Much love at such a sad time.

Lorna Schlechte

I learnt of Lynn’s passing with great sadness. I first met her in 1987. As PG students, Lynn, Lorna, Rina and I shared a  house at Keele University. After we’d both left the university, we kept in touch, exchanged letters and  Xmas greetings for years; and  even met  in each other’s countries when both traveling on business. Unfortunately, we lost contact in the early 2000s.

The fond memory of Lynn’s  erudite views,  thoughtfulness and the pure and uninhibited love given to everyone lucky enough to have been within her reach lingers on in my mind. She keeps a warm spot in my heart, and  I shall forever remember her exuberant laugh and wit.

Deepest condolences to her beloved Dan, family and friends and to all those who knew her well.

OMG… I am beyond shocked. Lynn Marie was always so helpful especially this past year as I was clearing out my mom’s estate.. I am devastated by this loss to the hill community. Condolences to her husband and family— she was a beautiful human being.

My deepest sympathy to the Alexander family and friends. You ,not only,we’re an asset to the “Hill” community but extended yourself beyond. Many thanks for your interest in Bocce Ball at Friendship Village Chesterfield. Love and Blessings.

Hey beautiful lady I am going to so miss you. I enjoyed watching you at the Bocce club. You were getting better. I loved walking through the neighborhood with you as you gave me historical information and a little gossip..
