My dearest sister in law was such a big part of my life . The love , humor and experiences we shared since she and Al's wedding day 59 years ago will be in my heart forever .
Lynn had such a quite elegance about her. Being in her prescence was a gift. When we were together we would just laugh and laugh. We shared life's sad times also, but being with Lynn was comforting.
Its not hard to understand the pain her family are going through losing her .May they find peace knowing that they treated a special life with great care right to the end
My prayers and love to all her family. I will love her myself forever.
Heaven got an angel in Lynn . God Bless.

The Millers,
I’m deeply sorry your Family is experiencing the pain of losing Lynn. My heart goes out to each of you. Keeping you all in my warmest thoughts as you navigate this difficult time and wishing you hope and healing when you are ready. It’s hard to lose Lynn when she meant so much to so many and even harder that everyone can not all be there together to say good-bye. I want you to know that I am with you all in Spirit now and in the days and weeks ahead. Some things never end.... like love, memory and the legacy of Lynn’s life that meant so much to so many.?
In caring sympathy, love Jane.
Blessed are those who walk in the light of your presence. Psalm 89:15NIV

I spent a great deal of time with my Nanny growing up. I was told that when I was three years old my mother was bedridden while she was pregnant with my brother. Nanny looked after me in this time. They say the first three years in a child’s life are the most formative in the bonds they create and because of this I have always felt a deep bond and connection to Nanny. I was often mistaken as her daughter in public because we both had blonde hair, blue eyes and she was young enough to be my mother. Her friends would always tell me growing up “you have your Nanny’s teeth” and I was SO PROUD because I thought my Nanny was the prettiest girl in the world. This is where it started yet I have little to fragmented memory of this time. Memories...that is what I have left of my Nanny and it is also what she lost in the later years of her life. Memories are precarious and only account for a fraction of an experience. Although I do not fully remember that time in my life when she looked after me, my heart remembers, and she will forever be a part of who I am. The last time I saw Nanny I was very upset at how little of my Nanny was left, but as I waved goodbye to her she blew me a kiss out the window and I know that she knew who I was, in her heart and in her soul and even though her brain had forgotten her love never ended. My love for my Nanny will never end and she will always be a part of me.

I feel so fortunate to have met Lynn in Palm Desert, California in 2000. We became instant shopping and lunch buddies. She taught me how to shop differently than my usual $19.99 rack. She liked the finer things in life and taught me that I didn’t need to shop that way anymore. We would laugh about that! I truly loved her and will never, ever forget her kindness and gentleness. She was a true class act!!!

Lynn had a big heart, a generous spirit and an unconditional devotion to her family.
Lynn’s dedication to her family’s happiness was always apparent and something we didn’t take for granted. She made such sweet memories with her kids and her grandkids, they knew how much she cherish them.
As I look back at the person Lynn was when I first met her, and during the many years that followed, she was in every way a woman of substance. From the very beginning of our relationship, she embraced me as nothing less than her own daughter. Her heart just stretched a little; she welcomed me in, and there I stayed, feeling right at home.
My mother-in-law always struck me as the epitome of salt-of-the earth decency, unpretentious, rock solid and fiercely loyal. Lynn was just 15 years old when she married my father-in-law, but somehow they beat the odds and stayed together through 59 years of marriage. Together they had three children, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
She taught me that we should always appreciate every moment and never let go of the things in life that have the most meaning to us. I believe that’s what Lynn did, she always put family first because that’s what was most important to her. She was grateful for every day she had on this earth.
She has taught me many lessons in life and one lesson she taught me well is when someone new joins my family, I’ve tried to do as she did and stretched my heart a little to make room❤️

Growing up we would get to spend two weeks in Kelowna in the summer. One week by ourselves and the other week with our parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. The week by ourselves with nanny and papa was always the trip I looked forward to once school was over. Nanny would drive us everywhere with no complaints. To the mall, the spray park, the beach, and scandia. Papa would always take us tubing and skiing on his boat. Nanny and papa always did so much for us when we came and visited! I will always cherish the memories that were made in Kelowna.
My daughter Lexi and I were playing with her toys the morning before I saw Nanny for the last time. Lexi lasts about 5 min with one toy and then will move onto the next activity. She wanted to read some books that morning. She usually picks out her favourite book peppa pig, but this morning it was different. She decided to grab love you forever by Robert Munsch. I will love you forever and like you for always Nanny!

It is so sad that Lynn has left us. She was an amazing person, extremely thoughtful and the best mother-in-law you could hope for. I will always be thankful that I knew her and I will always remember what a kind person she was.

Lynn Miller was the best grandmother I could have asked for. My nanny has gone too soon, but I am glad for the time I was able to spend with her. It has been heartbreaking to witness her battle with Alzheimer's, to see this wonderful person stand on her last legs, but it truly made me appreciate the wonderful person in front of me. The love and affection she held for her family right until the end was a testament to the selfless and loving person she was. It's interesting - I wasn't really able to contextualize this loss until I thought about it from my dog's perspective - as small as it seems, I know she and the dog loved each other and that my dog would always snuggle up with nanny when she came to our house. It's a tragic thing that my nanny has passed from this world, but I will always be grateful for the love she left behind. May she rest in peace.

My mom was my best friend. Beautiful, loving, funny, brilliant and sincere. My heart was broken continuously during the past 11 and some years. The day she could not find her way home, the day she was diagnosed, the confusion and terror, the decline in motor skills, the reliance on full care, the day we moved her into the home, the almost daily decline these past few months. It’s been devastating. But throughout the sadness we laughed and were together enjoying every moment. All was right with the world when she was with her family. I don’t believe she ever forgot who we were; she knew us until the end. Despite the disease, she cherished and focused on us. That was the power of her love. A few years ago I spent the day with my mom. She had to have a colonoscopy - a dreadful test. When we arrived home she told everyone she had the best day because she was with me. I think that sums up how much she adored her children. ♥️ I will always be grateful to everything my mom taught me. I miss her so much but I will feel her with me always. Love you mom. May you Rest In Peace.
