She is preceded in death by her parents, and her stepfather, Larry Tschirki; grandparents, Leo and Anne Pape, and Louis and Maria Florian, and many aunts and uncles. The family is grateful to the aids of Agrace Hospice & Palliative Care for the compassion, kindness, and quality care they provided to Lin during her last few months; and to the crew of Findorff Construction for their tremendous understanding, beautiful gift of flowers, and willingness to adjust the construction taking place near Lin's home to help maintain serenity during her final days. In keeping with Lin's wishes, a private memorial gathering will be held at a later date, and in lieu of flowers, contributions in her name may be made to the Women of Faith organization, www.womenoffaith.com "I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."
