It’s with our deepest sorrow that we write this post. Lynn Price, the wife, daughter, sister, aunt, step-mom, friend, and teacher, has sadly passed away. Lynn lived her life her way right up to the end. She was always strong in fighting for her health and her loved ones. She was smart, funny, clever, caring, and so much more. Lynn loved teaching for 30+ years at Joliet Central HS and never forgot any of her students. She loved to fish and travel with her wife and family. She will be forever missed by all.
Thank you to all that has touched her life and made her smile. We are so thankful for everyone that has played such pivotal and integral parts in Lynn’s life.
Love Karla and family
Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry—
I am not there,
I did not die.
— Clare Harner, December 1934
Thank you to Lida & PT.
