My name is Alison Lynne (Fry) Senkevitch and Aunt Lynne was my mother's sister. I have many fond memories of both Uncle George and Aunt Lynne, and I appreciated that both were always so genuinely interested in hearing about how my sister and I were doing. Both Lauren and I were on our high-school swim team and both Lauren and I played in our high school's and college's instrumental groups. We had a few impromptu concerts when we all got together and even played as a clarinet quartet once (Uncle George, myself, Cousin Andy, and Mom). This genuine interest in me and my growing family continued as I grew up and became a mom. I remember sending a few photos of various art projects my kids had done, and Aunt Lynne always had such kind and thoughtful things to say about my fledging artists.

As Lynne's younger sister, I admired her very much and will always remember the funny stories the she told me, as we lay in the darkness of our shared bedroom. I'll remember also some of the naughty things that she instigated, which were so exciting and fun. Lynne is the reason that I owned a horse, because she bought Rusty, then sold him to me to buy Chips (named after her boyfriend George Cheeseman). Later I bought the magnificent Chips. I followed her steps by attending MSU, and I'll continue to follow them as well as I can, going forward. But I'll miss her as long as I live.
