Many thanks to the wonderful staff in ICU at Victoria Hospital for their dedicated care and support they provided to both Lynn and her family, it was very much appreciated.

I live in Vernon, BC now but I have many fond memories of Lynn back in Winnipeg where I worked with Hugh at Winnipeg Police Service. Hugh - I am so sorry for your loss - my thoughts are with you and your family at this very difficult time. If you are ever in BC in my area look me up. I would love to see you.

So sorry to see this in the paper today, Hugh and girls. Hadn't run into Lynn at all, used to occasionally see her shopping. Anyways, my memories go way back to St. Vital PD days, even though a lot of water under the bridge since then. I am sorry I won't be able to make the memorial service due to a previous commitment, but I will be thinking of you that day. - Posted by: Roberta Beach (Friend) on: Apr 12, 2014
