My sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy to the Ricci Family, the Petar Krstich Serbian Choir and the entire Steubenville Serbian Church parish on the unexpected and untimely death of our dear Mary Lynn. Mary Lynn was a staunch supporter of our Serbian choirs and gave unselfishly for the perpetuation and preservation of Serbian choral music on the North American continent. As the immediate past President of the Serbian Singing Federation she worked hard to see that the traditions established by the Serbian Singing Federation would continue to future generations. Her zeal and vibrant personality shall be truly missed. Vjecnaja Pamjat dear friend. Paul S. Bielich, SSF Executive Secretary Emeritus

So sorry to hear the sad news about Mary Lynn. She was truly one of the nicest people I have ever known. She always had kind words for me and Mike. I teased her about sharing a birthday with someone I know and she got a kick out of it. She will be missed.
