Grief is the price we pay for loving someone! We will long remember Lynne and the memories we shared! posted by Paul Grinager : Lynne's husband John & I were classmates & roommates at the U of North Dakota over 50 years ago. I often spent time in Winnipeg in the home of John's parents - Connie & Eric Spero. When Lynne came into John's life, she came into mine & when I got married on 6-6-1970, John stood up with me. My wife, Judy & I were good friends & kept in touch with Lynne all these years. After John died, we brought Lynne & her boys to Texas for a visit. I shall miss my Canadian friends very much.
