Todd Gardner wrote a sympathy message

“Hi Lynn, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. I have many fond memories of the Gardners and McIlhenny's. Ski trips, yard sales - you name it we covered it. Your Mom always had an infectious laugh. I hope you are well. I spent 24 years at GEHC and spent a good amount of time in Waukesha. I wish I knew you were so close, I would have connected again over a beer. I would love to connect when you are up to it - give me a shout or text - 617-947-4402 Todd”
