August 8, 2022 at 6:53 pmDear Kathy, My mom was so sad to hear this. As lifelong gal-pals, their memories of each other far surpass what we know of them. We know she struggled with all of the recent changes, and hope that she is now at rest. Thanks for keeping in touch, mom so appreciated it and is sending love and prayers.

August 8, 2022 at 7:48 pmI will always remember your mom as the kindest, sweetest lady! One year I was buying a Father’s Day gift for my dad “Old Spice Cologne” and didn’t have enough money. I didn’t realize it then, but she added the extra money from her own pocket so I could feel “grown up” making my purchase I will never forget that. She and her smile were a Hackettstown mainstay. May she Rest In Peace and all your special memories bring you comfort.

August 12, 2022 at 3:03 pmOur deepest condolences, Kathleen. Your mom was loved and revered by four generations of Lynchs. She was the matriarch of Bach’s Drug Store and will be missed. One of my prize possessions is the chair that she sat in for fifty years. It has a place of honor in our home. Every time I sit in it, I think of her. Heaven has another angel.
