Greetings All, I worked in print operations at Goldman, Sachs & Co. and knew and worked with Lynne for many years. I am truly sorry to hear of her passing. I knew Lynne from the mid 60's till she left Goldman, seems like yesterday! So sorry for your loss, Bill Bondar
I work at JSJ and get to know Lynne there. She was always gracious and kind. At her suggestion, I became JSJ's representative on the board at Call 211 after Carol McFall retired from that board. I would come back from board meetings and Lynne would be eager to know how it was going. She had a heart of gold for her community and for the plight of others. She was a big part of starting and sustaining 211 service in Ottawa County and continued to stay interested and concerned when they merged with Muskegon's 211to become a more effective and larger organization. We had a 211 board meeting this past Friday. I felt so sad coming back to work knowing Lynne was no longer there for me to share "how it was going" at 211. I will miss dear, sweet, caring Lynne at work. I am grateful for the opportunity to know her and see how she cared for her community.

Sherwood Family,
Lynne was a kind and gracious person who used her great skills for the betterment of all.
I did not know her well,but my interactions with her come across that she was first of all a good human doing what she could to make her and our world a better place. We all benefitted from her presence on this planet. She was a shining light to many of her gender that they to can not just be successful, but shine a glow of brilliance of competence for all to see. Diana and I will miss her as will many others.
