Lynn’s family is walking through an incredibly tender and heartbreaking time as they face the unimaginable loss of beloved Lynn: wife to Dave, and mother to Estelle and Genevieve, and the countless other roles Lynn held in the lives of treasured family, friends, colleagues, and patients.

Lynn spent her life caring for others — offering compassion, healing, wisdom, impeccable comic relief, and her steady, unwavering presence. The number of lives she touched is immeasurable, and it is evident in the overwhelming outpouring of love surrounding her family in these past days.

During this profoundly difficult time, we hope to show Lynn’s family the same care she so freely gave to others. Many have asked how they can help, and this site is intended to provide meaningful, practical ways to support Lynn’s beloved family as they focus on being together and navigating the days ahead.

Whether through meals, meeting household needs, transportation, prayers, messages, simple acts of kindness, or financial gifts, every gesture helps lighten the daily burdens they should not have to carry alone. Should you feel led to support the family with a monetary contribution, please know your generosity is deeply appreciated. In time, Lynn’s family will thoughtfully determine how these gifts may be used, ensuring they honor and reflect Lynn’s heart and the things she cared most deeply about.

Most importantly, we ask that you continue to hold Lynn's memory and her family close in your hearts. Your presence, compassion, and generosity will provide strength and comfort in the days to come.
