My heart goes out to the entire family during this difficult time. Sending you big hugs.
Deb, Pete and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers and will call you when we are back in the country.
Love you all,. Pat and Corbett
Pete and Deb…. and the rest of you wonderful Lynch’s! Bob and I remember the good ole days with your wonderful mom and dad. Both of our parents had just a great life together with Jim and Hazel and all of their fun friends. So many pranks and antics over the years. They knew how to live, how to honor each other and everyone around them. We miss our parents and yours very much.

I found this very late but I wanted to express my sympathy. I have very fond memories of the family.
