Dear Fred and Family, Lynne, as I called my loving cousin was such the woman that I measured all other women by. Growing up with her was a great experience and privilege that I still carry with me. Those words that come to mind are sweet, real, strong, loving, sincere, true, family-centered, patriotic, accepting, good, etc. -Phil Stratton
I still remember my cousin teaching me to tie my shoes and trying to teach me to play the guitar she was so sweet and kind. I love her and miss her. -Jerry Rhodes
