I wish I could have gotten to know her better. As a relative late-comer to the SDMB community, I wish her friends and family well and will remember her for her positive contributions. ---

Damn. Damn, damn, damn. ☹ We lived in the same town. Even though I never met Lynn in real life; whenever I read her posts, it always made me (possibly undeservedly) happy to be in the same town with someone as nice and as smart as that. I don’t know if I’ll cry for any of you other bastards I’ve met over the internet, but I’m crying right now. Bye, Lynn. ---

I’m shocked. I remember Lynn from way back in the AOL days. I wish her peace and hope she is enjoying a new game while laughing at all of us left here. RIP Lynn ---

That’s dreadful news. ☹ Lynn has been a mainstay of this place since well before I finally joined. My condolences to her family. ---

Extremely sad news. I think I was around when she first became an administrator. Ugh. We’re all getting old… Esprix ---

I met Lynn a few times. She was a lovely lady, and so very interesting! When I met her was at the beginning of her serious health problems, she wasn’t exactly well, but she wasn’t so ill that she couldn’t interact in a meaningful way for an afternoon. She was delightful, witty and brilliant. We stayed in regular touch until her health made it difficult to keep up our correspondance. I considered her a good friend, and I am so very sorry to hear of her death. I miss her. My heart goes out to her family, and to those here who loved her. ---

Shoot, while I knew she was ill, this is still quite a shock. Lynn and the Dope have always been closely intertwined as long as I have visited these boards beginning with AOL. We have lost one of our greatest. My condolences to her family and friends. ---

I’ve been on these boards for, well, a long time, you can see my join date. In all that time I can’t recall ever having an interaction with Lynn, either replying to one of her posts or vice versa. And certainly never exchanged PMs. This, in retrospect, is unfortunate. But I can say that I when I saw her name on a post, I always looked forward to reading it. There’s not a lot of other members who I can say the same about. ---

I had noted a lessening in the number of her posts but I was not aware of the reason why. Goodbye Lynn Bodoni. I will miss you here. ---
