A heartfelt thank you to Karen Mannelin who helped care for our mom and became a dear
friend to her (you are simply the best!) and to the Hibbing Fairview Range Home Care & Hospice
team (Zach, Krista, Tamara – we can never thank you enough for the love you showed our
mom. She adored each of you!).

Lin led with a servant’s heart and taught her family to always live with a positive outlook and an
attitude of gratitude. She leaves a legacy of kindness, love, forgiveness, and above all else trust
and faith in our Lord. “Well done, my good and faithful servant” Matthew 25:21

A private celebration of life will be held to honor our wife, mom, and grandma/nana.
