That’s so awful. Since Lynn has never lived too far from me, I always hoped I could meet her some day. Sadly, I’ll never have the pleasure now. She was a very formidable lady and one of my first introductions to the board. She’ll be missed. ☹ Prayers and best wishes to her loved ones. May she rest in peace. ---

Awl jeez. How horrible. My heart goes out to those especially who worked with her IRL. ---

Such a loss. This is so sad. I can’t adopt a kitty in her memory just now but I know what the next one will be named. We’ll miss you, Lynn. ---

I never had reason to directly exchange words with Lynn, but it was always obvious she was one of the pillars of stabilty in our community, and that her personality shaped the board in many ways. We’ll miss her in ways we can’t anticipate. All my sympathy to those who knew her personally. ---

Oh, my goodness. What a shock. She offered to take me out for a meal years ago after some life/drama/bullshit and I didn’t take her up on it. Now, of course, I’m regretting it, since it means I never got to meet her IRL. My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. ☹ ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Anyone have 5000 gold worth of diamonds? **sniff** That was touching. Good thoughts to her friends and family. I’ll look for the donation thread. I’m not in a position to add a cat to the household, which is a pity because hugging a cat sounds pretty good right now. Instead I’ll check for shelters in my area and donate. And think about hugging a cat. ---

What a shock. I knew she had health issues, but I didn’t think they were that serious. Farewell, Lynn. I hope the other mods lay you down in the boat with your BanHammer beside you and send you on the way to Valhalla or wherever. ---
