I’m so fortunate to have been raised alongside Mrs. Lynch and her amazing family. She was loved in our Saint Peter‘s , in Richfield community. And her devotion as a great mother was obvious seen in her children. My condolences to all.
Many thanks for your kind words Scott. I feel fortunate that we could reconnect this past year and include Mom in some of our communications. She loved being able to convey her condolences to you on the passing of your amazing mama earlier this year. To our awesome Moms!!!
The Lynch family is one of the most loving, welcoming, supportive families I have ever met. Eileen is the reason for that. I’m so lucky to have joined this family through marriage, and that I had the chance to get to know Eileen a little in the last four years. She will be missed dearly, but her legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
An Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children’s children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home,
And may the land of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
It was our honor to meet such a kind soul.
My heart goes out to your whole family that I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with back in the 70s. God bless you all.

My sincere condolences to the entire Lynch Family. Those of us who have experienced such loss understand what you’re feeling. I believe each of you will forever hold your memories of your Mother near and dear in your heart as she has influenced the person you are today and will be tomorrow. She now lives with Christ. God Bless Her.
