Terribly sad news. I always enjoyed talking to Ian and Lynne at SPT events, especially when we compared notes on Las Vegas hotels and poker rooms. And I'll always remember the hero call Lynne made against me in the side event at Cardiff! Huge condolences to Ian. My thoughts are with you. RIP Lynne. Posted by J-Hartigan

Your face was a picture James when Lynne called with 6th Pair and was correct and scooped the pot! If I remember rightly, i think Ian was on the same table too.
We will always remember our first SPT in Manchester in November 2009 and the first two people we ever met from the Sky Poker Community were Ian and Lynne in the queue for registration. They were such friendly people and we stayed friends from there and always had a good chat with them both at all the SPT's ever since.
Two of the nicest people in the Community and Lynne will be missed by us all.
Our thoughts are with Ian and all his family and friends at this sad time.
having shared table`s with both Ian and Lynne at spt Leeds and got to know them a lot better as part of hitsquad in Nottingham, Lynne was one of the nicest ladies I have ever met and Ian is a total gent, you have all my sympathy Ian R.I.P Lynne.
Had a great time chatting to her in the side event at Cardiff. The table was about to be broken when Lynne asked very politely if they could possibly break the other table as she found it difficult to get around. The staff were very accomodating and did break the other table to join ours. She smiled at me and whispered "see it has its advantages being disabled". She was always happy and friendly. I also remember her laughing at me trying to walk in my "TKP Heels" at Cardiff lol
Thoughts are very much with Ian and the family at this very sad time.
A trophy for one of the SPT side events named after Lynne might be a nice idea in her memory??

I second this......
I don't know if there is a trophy for the SPT Leaderboard but how about if there is naming it "Dragonfli Lynne Memorial Trophy" It will be presented each year and Ian (MacMonster) could do the presentation at the first SPT of every new season.
Lynne was a major reason SPT's are what they are, would be lovely to honour her memory each year
Ian has asked me to post this here, he also says thank you all for the Kind words on this thread, He has been deeply Moved!!

SPT's wont be the same again. Lynne was great fun at the poker table.
R.I.P
Unfortunate to read a member of the community has passed.
My condolences to those close to her and may she RIP.

Only met her once at an SPT, but very friendly. Thoughts go out to Macmonster and family
