Dear Lynne and Nick. I never got to meet your lovely boy but did hear about him from his grandma Kelly and I am sure that Lincoln

brought much joy in his very short time with you. As a mother of someone with special needs I know that there can be so many emotions that go along with the daily care and attention that you must give to your child, frustration, sadness, fear but the one that prevails for me is gratitude. We are fortunate to have been given the opportunity to expand with love. These children really do bring out the best in everyone they encounter.

His light was so bright that it couldn’t burn any longer.

God bless you and all of Lincoln’s “people”.

Margaret

Hello Sweet Boy,

My first memory of you was when your mom was carrying you, you were so calm. Other people who love you have mentioned your mischievousness, and I got to see that as well, but mostly I remember your calm. Lincoln you were the first new baby that I really got to hold, you had a gift for knowing just what people needed. I guess I needed calm. From our couch snuggles to our chats, you always made me slow down and enjoy the slowing down. Like a gentle breeze after a storm, you forced this tornado to stop and just be present in the moment. I will treasure our short and too infrequent visits, and will always remember what you have taught me sweet boy. You are missed so much and loved by so many

Rest easy sweet prince

All of my love

My deepest condolences to Nick and Lynne and their family in this time of sorrow. May Lincoln's light and memory guide you through.

I'm sorry for your loss. That was a lovely service and everyone spoke beautifully. All the best to you guys.

I had the good fortune of working with Lincoln for a few years as his SLP. Seeing Lincoln was always the highlight of my week. From our games of catch to Crocodile Dentist to reading books, we had so many amazing times together. My memories of Lincoln's amazing laugh and giggles are vivid in my mind. You will be in my heart now and forever, Linc! Thoughts and prayers are with you Nick and Lynne.

Lincoln holds a special place in my heart, as one of the students I had the privilege of working with at Emily Follensbee School.

There are children that leave a deep impression on your heart that is difficult to find words for, and Lincoln left such an impression on mine. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know Lincoln, and share so many special moments with him.

My deepest condolences to your family during this difficult time.

Lincoln,I just want you to know that you will always have a special place in my heart.I will cherished our memories together. I will always remember our favourite bean toss game, your nose would flare as you’re laughing really hard and almost catching for breath.Linky,always remember the 3 words that I always whisper in your ear. Nick and Lynne, my heart is with you.

Lincoln was one of the first children I met when I began working in Colleen’s class at Emily Follensbee almost 4 years ago.. I feel blessed to have known him with his infectious laugh and his sweet, mischievous smile. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

It was my pleasure to have Lincoln in my kindergarten class at Providence . He was so happy all the time. He enjoyed interacting with his classmates and he always brought a smile to everyone. He worked hard and always did his best!

My condolences to the family. June Hamer

I remember the day you shared the news you were pregnant. How happy, and excited you were to be a mom. I remember the first time I saw Nick looking at Lincoln, the proud dad. Words cannot express how sorry Kent and I are for your loss. You, Nick and Spencer were blessed to have Lincoln, and his place in your hearts will comfort and protect forever.
