My sincere sympathy on the loss of your mom! She was a dear woman!
I worked with Lynn at Knute and again at Windmill Ponds. She was always so much fun and great to work with. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Lynn was a wonderful and kind nurse. Our mother was under her care at Knute Nelson and she was so caring and professional. She will be missed.
