Mary Lynn enjoyed growing her flowers outside, watching her hummingbirds, singing songs to her cats while patting her leg with a beat, in her nightgown and robe in the mornings sunshine. Most of all, she and dad enjoyed Saturday nights with their kids and grandkids, grilling burgers, having her homemade onion dip, and catching up on everyone’s lives.
