Thank you all so much for thinking of Lynn. I think she would have loved the look you picked out for her, your all the best.
Chris

The family is moving forward with our new normal, sadness leading the way, but with each new day we pick up our bags and take another step towards the future. God surely has a plan for us just like he had for Lynn.

My best friend called and we got together on our motorcycles and took a long ride this past Wednesday. Like everything these days it was fun and hard. Fun being out riding around the lakes and stopping for a couple beers and hard because I didn’t have my “backrest” with me.

The girls are doing as well as can be expected and we’re doing our best to keep in contact as much as possible.

We appreciate the support from all our friends and family.

Chris

Thank you for reaching out to me Steff.

Lynn prayed daily for you and your family I’m glad you were comforted by her, that’s what she did, spread love.

Thank you ladies.

Evie she was the sweetest as long as she wasn’t getting her Irish/Italian up if that happened it was look out lol

Thank you Lynn. I’m doing just that going over all the story’s that people shared with us at the viewing and funeral.

Some of Lynn’s roses are in bloom

Chris

Yes it is

I think I’m figuring out this site now.

Thank you all and I’m sorry for your loss too

Thanks Linda

I remember shortly after we were wed I told a friend of mine that if I only was her husband for one day I would still feel blessed and here I had her not just for one day but for over 14 and a half years talk about a bonus.

Thank you Antonia.
I’m sitting her unable to sleep wearing one of her T-shirts that still smells like her it makes me feel close to her.
Fortunately I have plenty of our friends and family still in the area. My work gave me 2 weeks off paid and as busy as things are was told to take as much time as needed.

Thank you Linda that was beautiful. Lynn loved roses of all colors in fact hers started to bloom this past week.
Remember her not just in pretty roses but for her love of life, and giving spirit.

Hi Vicky, thank you for your kind words. Lynn spoke about you and I think was looking to maybe getting together with you too.
Her last few months being a member here I know we’re good for her. She was pretty upbeat about the cards she had been given as far as her hair loss and arthritis but still had her rough days but I did notice there were a lot less bad days because of this group and all of you.
Today is the first day I have been alone everyone left yesterday I thought I was ok but hearing all your story’s, which I do love hearing it was still hard.
But I know she would not want us to cry but to laugh remembering her for her sense of humor and joy for life.

Thank you all I had to step away from her computer for a bit.

Linda I feel I know you, Lynn would be sitting with her phone then burst out laughing and it got to the point I would ask what are you and Linda yakking about now :)

lol oh yes the shirt, I was sitting across from her and she went opps I just rolled my eyes, Thanks for reminding me about that. Passing out shirts to the homeless what a loving gesture thank you so much.

She so loved the Lord and felt Jesus in everyone she came across taking the words in the gospel to heart "For what you did for the least of my brothers you did for me" she didn't just read the words but lived them weather it was her winter coat, her crucifix or handing out money to the homeless standing on a corner

I was not sure about how to share the news but glad I did, Hearing about how much she was loved. I was looking around and saw that she had the 3rd most likes I just thought that's my girl.

Thank you all. the services were held last week with a viewing last Wednesday and funeral Thursday thank you so much for your wanting to come that means a lot. Lynn will be cremated and interned near her Father at a later date.

Thank you BeatA I remember her excitement about you to meeting and how happy she was that Steff was not alone she saw Gods hand in everything.

Hearing story's about her bring comfort one I would like to share, A few winters ago she came home without her coat when I asked where her coat was she simply said "someone needed it more".

Yeah she definitely has a lot of...er...hair, yes that’s it hair lol

Or “The higher the hair the closer to Dolly” lol

LMFBO!!!!

ok my topper experts :flower:

Amen :hearts:

“This ride is Dolly tested and approved” lol

Very true, life gives us ups and downs we just gotta hold on and enjoy the ride and put our trust in the good Lord :pray:

I kinda wish I had started with toppers as a transition to my wigs but it is what it is :meh:

woo hoo road trip!!!

Hey as long as I get the first ride :wink:

I’m almost afraid to add up what I have spent over the corse of 40 years, I could have paid for Lamborghini lol

Good afternoon all. I am sorry if I started the day by bringing you down. I am doing much better (staying away from the mirrors) and wanted you my friends to know I am ok.
I did visit the other thread and posted there too.
God bless you all and stay safe :smile:

Hi sweetie I want you to know I’m doing much better now. I was caught a bit off guard early this morning on your other thread, I didn’t mean to be a Debbie downer. I had just got up and went to the bathroom and saw myself in the dreaded mirror then went online and there was your thread and my emotions just came pouring out.
Hair is very much tied to our femininity, when Society sees a woman or you think of a woman you think of hair. Not necessarily long hair but feminine styled hair. I’m so sorry that your boyfriend cut you down so badly, that’s one thing I’m am so glad of is having my hair at least thru high school.
I truly am bless with many things in my life the most of which is reasonably good health.
Bless you and all our sisters here hope you all have a safe weekend.

I love you too :hearts:

Our bride to be said it perfectly for me.....when not wearing a wig I totally avoided the mirrors, very few times (even after many years) have I been ok with the way I look :sad: my wigs are such an extension of me, my look, my personality and who I am, I am a total woman in a wig. I mean it’s probably like a woman who has lost one or both her beasts, yes she’s still very much a women but I’m guessing she doesn’t look at herself in the mirror eather. To someone on the outside looking in it might not be the same I mean how does one compare breasts to hair, well walk a mile in my shoes and you’ll see.
I have shared with how it still is upsetting for me to see myself without hair and after nearing 40 years I do still cry....I miss my full thick hair....having my boyfriend run his hands thru my hair....spending hours before prom or even my first wedding playing with it, trying to get just the right look...but.....now don’t get me wrong there are a few (very few) upsides to my life now, the first and most important to me is the three of you as well as all my sisters here, you truly know how I feel. I don’t mean to exclude Alex or any of the other men here but for a women her hair, our crowning glory, IS who we are. Also being where I am right now I can have that thick beautiful hair again just with a few restrictions, I cannot just throw my hair up into a messy bun like I did as a teenager but.....God has a plan.

I call them like I see them :hearts:

I know what you mean I have been on a mission to find the perfect curly wig.
