Lynne’s gifts to her students went far beyond the knowledge she passed on to us. Lynne was the clinical supervisor during my tenure as an online graduate SLP student at UNC. Lynne’s warm encouragement, willingness to listen and calm reactions when things seemed overwhelming were a lifeline. She was truly an island of calm amidst the struggles of graduate school; I think of her often and how much her support meant to me. My deepest condolences to you, her family; she is gone too soon. Thank you, Lynne; may you rest in peace.

As my professor at UNC for both under-grad and grad courses, Lynne made the classes she taught fun and engaging! I loved hearing her stories about working as an SLP in the Denver Metro area and going to people’s houses to do therapy with their preschool aged children. As one of our assignments, Lynne told us we had to plan a therapy lesson using only a wadded up piece of newspaper as our material-she was so creative, I am sure she could have pulled it off without a hitch! When I applied to Grad School at UNC, Lynne wrote me a wonderful letter of recommendation! She had taken the time to get to know me, and she was able to really talk about me as a good candidate for grad school. I still have the letter, and I am forever grateful to Lynne for writing this letter. I pray that your fond memories of Lynne ease your sadness during this time!
