Alan, we are so saddened by your news. I always regarded Lyn as a dear friend.
ReplyDeleteLuis and I fondly remember our time together with you both in Sydney where Lyn was my lifesaver on so many occasions.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family, we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
This is indeed very sad news.

Alan,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful website to remember Lyn.
I am saddened to hear of your loss, I was not aware Lyn had passed. After so many years together, I cannot imagine how you are feeling, I’m sure a little lost at times.
Grief is not something we ever get over. It and Lyn's memories are part of you forever more. Cherish the wonderful years you had together and look forward to meeting her again one day in heaven where she will be waiting for you.
I always remember Lyn’s smile and her kind words. Having moved to Sydney and being by myself for our wonderful time at SOCOG, the two of you were always making sure that I was OK. I remember my time fondly and sit here wondering where the time has gone.
I send you blessings and kind thoughts.
Michell F
Fran, you will be forever in my thoughts.

Hi Alan
ReplyDeleteJust a quick email to say hello & hope you are doing o.k. I know from experience that it is a very difficult & painful time, & that's putting it very simply, which it is not..
Also would like to say what a beautiful service it was for Lyn. All the memories were amazing & remembering so many good times we all shared. Everyone spoke from the heart & it was wonderful to listen to..
I hope that you will maybe find a little comfort from all this as everyone who knew Lyn, was always touched by the fact that she was such a wonderful wife, mother & friend to all of us, and someone who we will never forget.
All our love,
Ron & Dianne
