I am so sorry to hear about Lynne. She was a great lady who loved her children and husband very much. Like most mothers she was very proud of her children and always wanted the best for them, and for them to do their best and be their best. Stay a close family that’s what Lynne would want. Remember that you are all children of our Heavenly Father and your wife and mother is with him watching over you. Do what’s right so you can be with her again. It might get easier but will never ever get better. After losing my son Ty I know this. Take care I am thinking about all of you.

We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Lynne. She was a good friend to us when we lived in Monteview so long ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kris and his family. May the Lord bless you with the peace that you need right now and the knowledge that this is only a temporary change, and that you will all be together again.

Sorry, what a shock about Lynne. I love her and the children very much. I will, as you, miss her. I didn't see her often, but when we did we sure had a lot to talk about. Again, sorry, but now she is at peace with her Father In Heaven.

What a sad shock to read about Lynne's passing.
I remember the Martin family well way back from our days growing up in Drummond, Montana. Lynne was always cheerful, bubbly and generous. Her parents and siblings were some of my favorite people in our little corner of the world.
Later I moved to Idaho Falls and Lynne wasn't too far away in the Terreton area. I wish I would have taken the time to reconnect.
My condolences to Earl and Alice (school lunch cook extraordinaire) as well as Jay, Doug, Judy and Lori.
God bless,
