☹ RIP. I take it she has some underlying illness, because she did not appear to be very old and the SDMB staff seems unsurprised by the death. My condolences to her family. ---

I’ve seen Lynn’s mod posts from time to time. She’ll be missed. She was one of the really nice people here. R.I.P. ---

Lynn was one of the kindest and most open people I’ve ever had the good fortune to “meet” on the internet. However, one also learned very quickly not to draw her ire! I will miss you, **Lynn** ---

I knew she was in poor health, but the news still comes as a shock. This place won’t be the same without her. I still recall her encouragement when I joined the staff all those years ago. The transition would have been much tougher without her. I once told her that she needed an “I Aten’t Dead” sign like Granny Weatherwax wears, so that nobody would get the wrong idea during her occasional health-related absences. I am sad to realize she won’t be needing it any more. ---
