I was sadden to hear about the loss to your family. I have found much comfort in the promises found at Psalm 102:17. May you find comfort and hope in the promises in God's word as well.

My thoughts and prayers are with Chris, Mickie, and the entire Champion family. Lynn was an awesome man. When all of us were teenagers, Lynn always welcomed us in their home. As an adult, I enjoyed every time that I would cross paths with Lynn and the opportunity to swap hunting stories. Lynn was one of the "good guys". Heaven is a better place today with Lynn there.
