I admired Lynn’s authenticity and compassion
I was amazed by her insatiable curiosity and ability to turn ideas into action
Her spontaneity and laughter were delightful
I was blessed to enjoy Lynn’s friendship and I will cherish those memories forever.
The Family lit a candle in memory of Lynn Gilliland
We knew Lynn and her family first at Christ United Methodist Church in St Petersburg. What delightful times we had together in worship, service and fellowship...especially with her vibrant young daughters. When I next visited them in Seattle (where my son Adam and daughter Maria also live), I went with the Gilliland family to their home and church right near where Maria and Leroy lived. It always gave me comfort to know Lynn and family and my family were so close in proximity.
Our gratitude goes out to God for the life of Lynn and to her family for sharing her with us all. We will always, always remember her and her wide positive influence. In fact, I think she is "pepping up" heaven right now!

Lynn - you were such a life force and amazing friend to so many people. Your willingness to better the world through your acts of kindness and connection will never be forgotten.
The time we spent together laughing - little moments and big moments (aka Big Fun) are countless and I treasure them.
You were a champion for all - and led through example in your work for kids with dyslexia, your work for mental/emotional care - but most of all your true life's work - Margo and Hannah.
Girls - lean on your friends and family just as we all leaned on your mom - we are here for you and we love you.
Lynn Gilliland - I love you and I will always miss you.
