Rest In Peace, John A. Lynn, president of The Living Truth Fellowship in Indianapolis IN

 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. — 2 Timothy 4:7

(The following was posted on the Facebook page of, The Living Truth Fellowship on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021. John A. Lynn, president of TLTF, succumbed to the Coronavirus in the Indianapolis area, and he happened to be in his late 70’s. Pastor Lynn appeared twice on my government-access TV show out of Nashua NH, titled, ‘Frankly Speaking’. Both those shows happen to be posted on this forum, please feel free to browse and find out for yourself what Lynn was all about.)

The Living Truth Fellowship

It is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart to inform you that our brother in Christ, John Lynn has fallen asleep in the Lord. Below is what Elizabeth Lynn has shared: John passed away this afternoon at 2:26. Myself and his daughter, Christine, got to go in to be with him and sang him Peace Peace and I come to the Garden Alone, then he took his last breath. Thank you Jesus for the victory we have over death and that we will see him again in his new resurrected body. Thank you all for your love, support and many prayers!!

I am so proud of who my father was, of how he poured himself out for others and always tried to walk in the love of Christ. He was not a perfect human being, nor are any of us, but he had a compassionate heart, always rooting for the underdog and for justice and mercy. More than anything, he taught me that our God is a good and loving God. That theology alone has saved my life numerous times. He will be missed, but I promised him during his last breaths that I would pass this deep faith on to my own family and friends every day I draw breath. I hope you will do the same.

John Lynn I am looking at the bumper sticker you gave me that says “death sucks” and those words couldn’t be more true now. I will never forget all the times you called to pray with me and how you always pointed me back to Jesus when I felt lost. I never knew anybody who fought so hard to live like you did. You loved life and spread the love of Jesus everywhere you went. I won’t stop believing in miracles or doubt God’s goodness even though I don’t understand. You will always be so special to my heart. Thank you for all you taught me and always making me laugh. I cherish all the memories and will keep them close to my heart till that sweet day when I will see you again. ♡♡♡

Former child actor puts Erin Moran’s life — and sudden passing — in proper perspective

(Paul Petersen was a former child actor on ‘The Donna Reed Show’, and is currently the coordinator of a group called, ‘Minor Considerations’, which supports mainly child actors coping with society problems after their entertainment stints either on TV or movies are over. Erin Moran, was a former child actor best known for her role in ‘Happy Days’ and had passed away recently at 53. The following was posted on Paul Petersen’s Facebook page.)

Erin Moran’s Legacy

It is not too soon to correct the record.

Erin was one of the kindest, most generous celebrities we’ve known.

She was beautiful, gracious, and among the most accommodating celebrities at hundreds of personal appearances over the past thirty years we’ve known. In short, she was a doll, the very model of how to accept and return the love of her fans.

Erin Moran died of an aggressive throat cancer that she chose to keep private, a condition known only to her husband, Steve, and a very few friends, nearly all of whom were former kid stars.

He co-stars never abandoned her. They kept the faith despite lurid Press reports. She overcame the dangers of living that face all of us.

Erin Moran had troubles in her life. All of those troubles were covered in lurid details by members of the Press who could not, themselves, withstand the same sort of rectal examination of their own lives. Are there no alcoholics in the Press? Do members of the Press not marry and divorce? Is drug use unknown in the Press? Are all those shameless internet consumers sitting in the dark exempt from personal failings and family scandals? Is your life without blemish?
Of course not.

I pray that you will remember Erin Moran and countless other former kid stars with a generosity of spirit that reflects the best of humanity. They lived. They provided hours of entertainment. They loved you.

In the end Erin Moran died without burdening you with her struggle. That’s the kind of person she was. Remember her kindly.
