Final Update

At 3:19pm on January 29, 2011 my mother died. 

She died with her family around her as we played a game of Scrabble.

We are heartbroken. 

But she is free.

My heartfelt sympathies to your family. I am amazed at how encouraging Lynn was to all of us when we should have been encouraging her. So thankful she will no longer suffer. She truly did impact the world!

Emily, precious poetic Emily
...on Interstate 81 somewhere above Binghamton a lady who has met you and your mother once or so and one who knew nothing except that Polly had family in Ohio are driving toward Canada in tears for you and your loved ones.

You're right she's free, and the One who has promised to never leave us is faithful to carry us through the valley.

Love and prayers,
Carol and Corinn

Dear Emily,
Your dear mother is indeed free and in the presence of her Lord and Savior. What an amazing hope and faith she had and she is now experiencing it. I continue to pray for you and your family. May you continue to sense God's presence with you and His arms carrying you through this time. Love, Kathy B. Friend of your Aunt Lauri and parents

You have not lived in vain. Your life goes on in many. Because of your great testimony...many will be motivated to seek and find your faithful Savior! Those who are left behind are longing for what you are experiencing right now. Well done good and faithful servant. Celebrate with Him, sing to Him, dance with Him, ask many questions of Him. Enjoy your new home where darkness is unheard of, sin is no more, human frailty is replaced by our redeemed, glorified bodies. You will be missed.
