She always had that infectious smile that would light up any room. She was full of life, loving everyone and everything.

I was so very sorry to read about the passing of Lynn. I taught her in the 8th grade at Ahoskie Middle School in 1976. I had the good fortune to run into her some years later when I returned to Ahoskie and she was the same happy Lynn that I remembered and she greeted me with a big hug. I will always remember her smile, her bubbly personality, that joyous spirit and her being an excellent student. It was a joy to have her in my classroom and to experience getting to know her. I know she will be missed by everyone that knew her and shared happy times with her. Thanks Lynn for the joy that you brought to me in my classroom and your other classmates. Rest In Peace Forever.

Dear Williams Family: We want to send our thoughts and prayers to you upon the passing from this earth to the heavenly plain that Lynn has done. When we moved 500 miles to this peacefully, rural community, Lynn was one of the first people to welcome us. She was always giving a wave and a smile every time she would see us. She was a light to this dim world and will truly be missed. Thank you Lynn for just being you while on this earth. GOD SPEED!
Lynn was a very unique, special, and irreplaceable person. She would just tell you how it is. She loved so big and you knew if she love you cause she would tell you. Her laugh is something I will always remember. She is one of the most genuine people I know. Her nephews and family were everything to her! She will be missed very much! Prayers and hugs are sent out to the family for I know this is a huge loss.
May God bless and keep during this time of sorrow. RIP Class Mate
