Leave a tribute for Lynn Reid.
My prayers & sympathy are with Lynn’s family. I especially send love to Jeremy, Donna, Brody and Shannon. (Donna is my cousin.)
So sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. We were cousin. Her dad Pete and my dad JP McNeely were brothers. I remember going to Uncle Pete's house on Sunday's and we got to play with Lynn when she was a baby. We had the best time. Last time I got to see her was when Uncle Mac passed away. She was always so friendly and had that beautiful smile. Praying for the family. Susan (McNeely) Paterno
