My Prayers for the whole family! Aunt Lynn was married to my Uncle Mike, and I had the awesome opportunity to visit with Ms. McEachern several times. I loved her stories, and how proud she was of all of her children. She was a very sweet lady, I know it's a terrible loss!!

My thoughts and prayers are with her family/friends. Mrs. Mac was a strong and beautiful lady. Her memory and her legacy will live on in her family. She is now in her heavenly home with a perfect mind, body, and soul, and we celebrate her life. May God give her family the strength, peace, and comfort during this time of grief. Focus on the many wonderful memories you have and keep them in your hearts.

With love and deepest sympathy,
