Turn left at the first entrance before the bridge and park there. Afterward, you’re welcome to join us at Paradise Restaurant on Main Street in Safety Harbor.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that you consider supporting the Salvation Army Angel Tree program during the Christmas season. Giving to children in need was one of Lynn’s favorite holiday traditions, and continuing it would be a meaningful way to honor her memory.
