ReplyDeleteI, too, thank you for the post. Lin was my missionary companion and I recently found out about his passing. He was a great missionary and friend. We hung out together after the mission. I was very saddened to hear of his death. My heart goes out to his family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tribute. I think of Lin often. We worked together with Mario Guerrero, another I miss often. Thank you.
