Lynn is also a breast cancer survivor and has a first-hand understanding of how a life-threatening disease can result in the reprioritization of everything that is important in life. Residing in Atlanta with her husband Greg, Lynn is the proud mom of Greg Jr. and Connie as well as mom-in-law to Matt and Jon. She is also a devoted grandma (Mimi) to her three young grandchildren.
