Dear Lisa, Graham and Tomlinson family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Thinking of you all.
Lisa, Graham & Family…. So sorry for your loss…. so many fond memories when Mrs. T would welcome the usual bunch of troublemakers at the house. I will remember her big smile and kind heart always… Love Brenda & Pete.
We are absolutely in a tail spin.
Dearest Mike, we know your love for your life partner, and dear Tomlinson family, we know how much Lynne loved all of you. You were her everything.
Lynne, your smiling face, upbeat personality, laughter and love of life, inspired all of us who knew and love you. We will miss you, and love you forever.
My most memorable memory is going to the Tomlinson household as a teenager at Christmas time and seeing the most presents I had ever seen in my lifetime (up to present time)under the tree in the basement. The furniture had to be rearranged to accommodate all the gifts. I mentioned that memory to Lisa recently and she laughed and said it’s even worse now with the grandkids. Mrs T loved her family and went all out for them. My heart is broken for you all and I pray for you all during this time. Love Zeeba
Sincere condolences to the entire family. I have many fond memories of Lynne from back in the day. I remember her most for her sweet and generous nature and of course her love of Christmas. Hold on tight and cherish all of your wonderful memories, may they give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Words fall short, but my thoughts are with you, sending lots of love and strength.
Mike, Lisa, Graham, Jeremy, Lucas and family – Thinking of you with sympathy and love at this sad time.

Mike and family, Lynne was such a wonderful person, she will surely be missed by all who knew her. We were so happy to meet her and she suggested we should try Destin with you and your friends. We had lots of fun shopping and she bought for her whole family on our outings. She was a joy to be around and we will miss her. Peter and Casey
I remember Lynne as a warm and friendly person. I didn’t know her well but would run into her at Encore concerts or quilt shows and we would always have a very pleasant chat. You will all miss her terribly. My sincere sympathy extends to all of her family
Brentwe are so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She will be sorely missed by you and the kids and the rest of your family. Hold on to the love she had for your family and the good memories, of which I am sure there are many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Mike and the Tomlinson Family, Our deepest sympathy for your loss and please know you are in our thoughts, and in our hearts.
Dear Mike. We were sorry to learn of Lynne’s passing through our mutual friend and former neighbour, Carol Beynon. She brought to mind the amazing fireworks displays you folks and the Emerton’s put together when our children were small. Fond memories indeed.
Please accept our condolences to you and your family. Blessings and peace to all.

Our regular shopping trips, lunches out, art classes, both in Florida and here in London, will forever be etched in my memory. You were the master at finding the best bargains. Love, Karen ??. Also…..
Our dinners out and at each other’s homes, and wonderful concerts and trips, will always be remembered with great fondness. Lynne will be sorely missed by her family and many friends. Love, Don and Karen ??
I was very sorry to read of the passing of Lynne. I know, Mike, that you and Lynne had a long and wonderful marriage. I remember my late sister, Gail Haley and Lynne were very close those many years ago. Both you Mike, and your family have my sincere condolences.

We’re sorry Mike to learn of Lynne’s passing. Unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to meet Lynne, but we’re with you and your family at this most grievous time.
I met Lynne through mutual longtime friends Lesley & Joan many years ago. Sincere condolences to her family.
Mike and Family
Certainly was a shocker…..for all of us. It is hard to find words to express our sorrow for you, Mike, and all your family. Be assured of our loving and blessings for all of you. We sure loved those smiles, laughs and warm, genuine hugs from Lynne. We will miss her. Take care and be safe. John and Linda
Dear Tomlinson family. I was so sorry to hear this news. I have many fond memories of “Mrs T” as we so affectionately called her. I will always remember her laughter, warmth, kindness and beautiful smile. Growing up in the neighbourhood, I recall many happy times spent at the Tomlinson’s. She was always happy to see “us kids” and welcome us in to her home. May your hearts be comforted by the treasured memories you have of her. Thinking of you.
Mike, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Lynne. May your wonderful memories of your life together help you and your family through this difficult time.
Dear Mike, Kevin and family;
Please accept my sincere condolences on Lynn’s passing.
Mike and Family
Please accept our deepest condolences. May you draw comfort from a vast store of cherished memories as you and your family cope with this sad loss.
Mike,
Please know my haughty are with you and your family. Mom and Dad always so enjoyed their times with Lynne and you.
With respect, Catherine Schaus
So sorry Mike to hear of Lynne’s passing. We have fond memories of her warmth and cheerful greetings on occasions when we met at Encore concerts or at staff parties. Condolences to you Mike, and to your family.
Wes: Two qualities that Lynne possessed in abundance were her creativity and her devotion to Mike and their family. She expressed her creativity in her painting, decorating and needlework. What was most impressive was how she melded that creativity with her love for her family.
Lois: She was an amazing, sweet, strong lady. In Florida the last 8 years, Lynne and I shared luncheon and shopping excursions. During these times her creativity, insight into life and her wonderful sense of humour shone through. I shall particularly miss our giggles in church.
Our fondest memories of Lynne are at post Encore get togethers and our times in Florida at Topsl. Lynne entertained us with stories from her many years as a Board of Education employee. She was very talented especially her keen artistic eye which was reflected in her artwork, decorating, entertaining and all aspects of her life. Her pride and love centred on her family – Mike, Lisa, Kevin, Brent and the grandchildren. The grandchildren were her heart and soul and she adored them. It was so obvious that she and Mike are loved so very much by their close family.
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of a loving and talented Mom, wife, Grandmother and friend to so many of us.
Mike we were so sorry to hear of Lynn’s passing. We have fond memories of the Brick Street neighbourhood, our boys at your place & vice versa. Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Marty & Susanne Thrasher
Hi Mike, I’m so sorry about Lynne. I hope you stay well. The last time I saw you & Lynne was at the Little Beaver years ago. Sincerely. Steve Plunkett 1966 grade 6 Oak Park public school.
Dear Mike and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Lynne’s passing. Our thoughts are with you.
Mike,
I was shocked to read of Lynne’s sudden passing. My memories of my friendship with Lynne growing up in old south are so warm. I particularly remember spending time with Lynne at her home with her wonderful parents. My memories of Lynne always included you Mike because I don’t think there
was ever a time when Lynne didn’t love you. It’s difficult to think of one of you with out the other.
We were going to get together for lunch when I moved back to London and I am so sad to say that we never made it. I will always remember Lynne’s sweet smile and wonderful disposition.
My sincere sympathy to you and your family, Mike. May their love surround you and help you in your grief journey.??
Dear Mike,
Please accept my most sincere sympathy at Lynn’s passing. My memories of her at W.G. School are so very fond. Her smile could lighten a room and she was always ready to assist in any way.
I am saddened to know she has left us all.
Please accept our condolences, we were very surprised to hear of Lyn’s quick passing. Our thoughts are with you.
Beth and I were so sorry to learn of Lynne’s passing. We last saw you and Lynne at Cape St Mary’s Nfld in the fog. Our sincere sympathy Mike.
