I’m a relative newbie so I didn’t know Lynn all that long, but I really enjoyed her posts and her sense of humor. She was a cat person, my kind of chick! My condolences to all of you who have lost such a treasured friend, and to her family. ---

I never had occasion to interact with her other than as a fellow participant if various threads. But, she was a constant presence, so it is a shock to find out that she won’t be here any longer. ---

Not being in the position to adopt a cat right now (have 2 already + 2 dogs) I am going to sponsor the adoption fees for a cat or two, in her name, at the shelter where I volunteer. ---

A bump for the donation link. You are going to need to raise the limit as well; at this rate, the $1000 level will be reached shortly. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > A bump for the donation link. You are going to need to raise the limit as well; at this rate, the $1000 level will be reached shortly. Is there any reason a limit must be set? I understand a _time_ limit, but an \*amount \*limit? Just curious, **fluiddruid** , but does the picture on the donation page have any special significance? One of Lynn’s cats, maybe? Or just a stock photo? ---

Or just a stock photo? Just a stock photo. I felt a cat was a better choice for Lynn’s memorial (the original for the template, a big ol’ clock, felt oogy to me). I’m stunned by your generosity, folks. While we can still donate past the $1,000 goal – it’s just for fun – I’ll move it up just so nobody is discouraged from donating. Thanks very much. ---

It was one of her dog’s threads that led me here and kept me on the boards that have been such an influential part of my life. Mind-boggling to think she’s not a PM or post away now. Her memory will always be a blessing to me and I hope the same and more for her family and friends. ---

I still remember how Lynn welcomed me to the Board when I joined. It was like having one of the big kids looking out for you on your first day at a new school. It didn’t take me long to realize that those personal touches - her friendship, and her _kindness_ - were Lynn’s for everyone. May she rest in peace. ---
