She was such a wonderful lady. She always had time for you if you needed it. One of her best qualities was that she treated all of her employees the same. It didn't matter if you were a boss or somebody that worked on the molding floor. Tom I am so sorry for your loss.

I well remember meeting Lynn for the first time in the late 1970's to ask for her Microplastics business. She was so cordial and pleasant for a business conversation and that was the beginning of a personal relationship that lasted from that time forward. What a lovely lady to know and admire not only for her business acumen in addition to being such a warm and interesting person to spend time with. My sympathy and prayers go out to Tom and other members of the Hill family. I am a retired banker formerly from Mountain Home.
