Help Honor Lynn Johnston's Memory

Donation protected
My name is Marie Johnston, and I am creating a GoFundMe to help me bury my oldest daughter, Lynn Johnston. Something that no parent should ever have to do.

 It devastates me to having to announce that after a strong 52-year battle against Rett Syndrome, Lynn’s stomach cancer metastasized, and has unfortunately lost her fight. Our lives are simply shattered by this loss. It is a pain I wouldn’t wish on any parent or person. Unfortunately the timing couldn’t have been worse because an oil tank burst in our home and has left me in a financial ruin, so I am reaching out to anyone that is willing to help with the arrangements and costs for my daughter’s funeral.

 Lynn was a bright beam of light from a distant star. She enjoyed listening to music, bubble baths, and she always had to have a sweet treat after eating. She carried a positive energy everywhere she went even though she wasn’t able to physically display that. The average Rhett’s patient lives to be 24. God doubled that for her, and for a reason. And in each of those years she taught me more about life and what it means to love somebody than anything else ever could have. Because she wasn’t able to live the life that she deserved, I’d like to be able to at least put her to rest in a way that she deserves. And that is why I am reaching out to you. Or anybody willing to help.

 Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
