What a sad loss, Lyn was so lovely. I’ve always been scared of dogs but Lyn kindly taught me how to stay calm when a yappy dog wants to jump up my leg.

If there is one thing that gives us comfort, it’s that Lyn has found her beloved Tilly and they are running agility together again. Lyn was an amazing aunt and an amazing great aunt. Bella, Alexander and Grace loved the time they got to spend with her, and we will never forget how much love she showed them. Her bright smile, love of dogs and art, and her enthusiasm for all things cake and baking will be greatly missed. Forever in our thoughts and our hearts Love always Joe, Madeline, Bella, Alexander and Grace 💕💕💕
