Lyne was one of the first divers who reached out to me when I was hot mess of a new diver. The more I warned her what a mess I was, the more she insisted that we dive. It wasn't out of duty, or concern, or pity, but out of a sheer joy of diving with new divers and showing them a world that she knew better than most.
One of the greatest compliments I received as a diver was when Lynne told someone that I was green, but a good diver.
She was a tiny little thing in a funny hat, but she is greatly missed in my heart and in so many others.
Peter, my heart is broken for you. I am so very sorry for your loss.

I am not sure how many of you are aware that there is one more thing we can do to show respect and appreciation to LCF - Lynne Flaherty.
Lynne touched and influenced many lives including mine.
We can show up at Her Life Celebration Service this Friday September 18th at 2 pm.
Details below:

Peter Rothschild, her husband, has sent the following E-mail to his Diving Friends (including myself).
In respect to her I am passing it also to NWDC Community here:

In addition, there will be a Celebration of Her Life at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Kirkland, 2 p.m., Friday, Sept. 18.

Take care everyone.
