WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I&&single&&m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn&&single&&t cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn&&single&&t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time you think of me,
I know you&&single&&ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I&&single&&d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I&&single&&d always thought,
I didn&&single&&t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I&&single&&d say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven&&single&&s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When GOD looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne he said,
“This is eternity, and all I&&single&&ve promised you.
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day&&single&&s the same day
There&&single&&s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn&&single&&t do.
But you have been forgiven,
And now at last you&&single&&re free.
So won&&single&&t you take my hand
And share my life with me?”
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don&&single&&t think we are far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I&&single&&m right here, in your heart.
Our love & prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Dear Flynne and Cochrane Families, My thoughts are with you at this time, as are the thoughts of so many. I remember when Lynne and Ian started school at C.P.S.

Your lives will no longer be the same and I can&&single&&t imagine your pain. Somehow, let your happy memories of Lynne help you through.

Giving you hope that is as certain as the sun
Giving you the strength of serenity as your guide
May you always have love and comfort and courage
And may you always have an angel by your side
May you always have an angel by your side
Someone there to catch you if you fall
Encouraging your dreams Inspiring your happiness
Holding your hand and helping you through it all
In all of our days, our lives are always changing
Tears come along as well as smiles
Along the roads you travel,
may the miles be a thousand times more lovely than lonely
May they give you the kind of gifts that never, ever end:
someone wonderful to love and a dear
friend in whom you can confide
May you have rainbows after every storm
May you have hopes to keep you warm
And may you always have an angel by your side

Robyn, Jenna and Reeve Hicks
Dear Steve and Girls,
The only thing we can think of to say is that God must have needed Lynne for something in heaven. Maybe to take care of someone. We will never forget the love she showed to all and especially you, her daughters.
As Ainsley did her public speaking, Lynne didn&&single&&t have to say a word of encouragement but her quiet smile spoke volumes; her eyes urged her daughter on.
We are grateful to have known Lynne from a distance… Please know that our thoughts, prayers and hearts are with you now, as you mourn the loss.
There is a special angel in heaven this Christmas.
God bless you.
Robyn, Jenna and Reeve
Betty Costello
To The Flynn & Cochrane Families,
I had the pleasure of knowing Lynn for a number of years. Lynn was a dear friend of my sister Karen. Lynn was a great gal. She was friendly, out going and fun. Lynn had a rare beauty, inside and out. Lynn will be terribly missed by all. My heart goes out to you during this very difficult time. Betty Costello (Columbus,Ohio)
Cathy(Gibbings) & Doug MacLean
Steve,Rita & Daughters, I wanted to say how very saddened I was to hear of Lynne&&single&&s passing. I can&&single&&t believe it has happened. It had been so many years since I had seen her and to have those last memories of her at our class reunion at Thanksgiving is such a blessing to me. I will cherish those few moments for many years to come. She was a wonderful person and a joy to know. I will be thinking of you all and pray you can find some comfort in knowing others care. Take good care of each other. Lynne will always be with you in your hearts.
Mrs. Mary Ann Johnston
To the Flynn family,
Maybe you remember me…I was the Kindergarten teacher in Clinton for Kaleigh and Ainsley….
I heard about the accident and could hardly believe it and now I am reading about it in the newspaper this morning. Words cannot express how I feel for you four girls and your father. I hope that the presence of caring friends and the love and support of your family bring you comfort.
Many prayers will be said for you and that will help. You four girls will become closer over this I am sure and that will be a great blessing. Your mother will be watching over you.
I send my deepest sympathy, love and prayers to you all.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann, Rex, Mike and Mandy Johnston (Goderich)

We are so sorry for your loss. The clock of life is wound but once and time seems to fly by so fast. I will always remember Lynne for her handwriting. She had possibly the most beautiful writing I have ever seen. She will be greatly missed by all. I will be making a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Assoc. on her behalf. This is near and dear to my heart, as I share the same affliction. Take care, and live each day to the fullest.
Maureen Wildfong
Dear Steve, Stephanie, Kaleigh, Ainsley & Emily
There are no words that can ease your pain in such a sad loss of a dear wife and mother who will be deeply missed by all. I received a poem from a friend and I would like to pass it on to you.
“Before You Cry”
Before you cry about me
Just try to understand
That I&&single&&m resting safely
In the hollow of God&&single&&s hands,
If I could send a message to each
This I&&single&&d like to say
Please don&&single&&t cry for me
I&&single&&ve reached a brighter place
To lift your hearts and please don&&single&&t cry,
I”ll meet you at the door
And when tomorrow strarts without me,
Try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
Before you cry, remember
That God alone knows best,
And he has called me upward
And with him I&&single&&ll rest.
You ar in my thoughts and prayers, hoping the huge hole in your hearts will be filled with all the memories Lynne has left you. Again I am so so sorry.
Maureen Wildfong
