It had been a long time since I'd seen Donna-since Bruce was a baby. Even so, I still remember what a good person she was and how she was always ready to laugh. It saddens me to know that she is now gone but I know she will be watching over her family and friends. I pray that each day gets a little easier for you all and that you can remember her with a laugh and not tears. My sincere best wishes for you all.

I am so very sorry for your tragic loss. Nothing can take the place of our loved ones and no one can take away the memories that we're so fortunate enough to have of them. Let those wonderful memories sustain you during your time of grief while you're thinking of Donna Lynn. It is so sad that she wasn't here longer with all of you. I know she will always be with you in spirit...watching over her children and family. I am a good friend of Diane Craddock's and lost my 22 year old son two years ago. This heartbreaking road will have alot of bumps in it. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. You all have my sympathy. May God Bless You & Comfort You All.

I had not seen Donna for a many years, but it upset me to know that she is now gone. I pray that her sons and remaining family will have the strength to move forward and that each day will bring them closer to easing the pain.

To Dylan,Little Bruce,Bruce & Uncle Ben
I just wanted you to know that I have always thought of all of you as my own family, I loved Lynn like a sister and I know the pain you must be feeling now. Even though Lynn is no longer with us she will always remain in our hearts. She was a good person and everyone who ever knew her would tell you the same. She was always full of life and never let anything get her down. She wouldn't want us to be sad for her she would want us to celebrate her life. And help her take care of the precious gifts she left behind. God will help us make it through this.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Lynn's family and friends and especially with Little Bruce and Dylan. May God watch over her children through this very trying time. Lynn was a very kind and special person and a loving mom. She was always very good to me as a kid. It gives me a little peace to know she is now with my mom. I will always remember her wonderful smile and she will be greatly missed.

To Lynn's loving family,
We are thinking of you with deepest sympathy in the death of your precious daughter, sister, wife, and mother. A sudden loss leaves us with things we didn't get the chance to share with them but all the treasured memories they left behind we'll cherish forever. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers during the difficult trials and tribulations you're facing. If there is anything we can do for any of you, give us a call.
In Christ, Diane Craddock and family

"Death leaves a heartache time cannot heal...
...Love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Faith, Family, and Friends

Always remember to extend a caring hand...
To the grieving loved ones around our land.
Take time to cry, laugh, or reminisce with them
And realize they will forever need a true friend.

Angels' time on earth, whether short or long,
Yesterday's treasured memories to us belong.
After they have gone to their heavenly homes,
Our hearts beat as one, until our time comes.

God will continuously provide for you...
Spiritual, physical, and emotional too.
Strength from faith, family, and friends,
Provides peace and comfort until the end.

The wonderful gifts our good Lord gives...
Sharing the lives our beloved angels lived.
Counting our precious blessings is easy to do,
When prayers to God, end with "Thank You!"
