Lynda and I were womb buddies (born on the same day) as well as long time teaching friends. She has been coaching me on being a successful retiree. Johnny, we will both remember Lynda for her laugh, her love of us, and her love of conversation. My heart is sore as I know yours is.
Lynda was a special neighbor--always sharing her garden produce & stopping by to chat awhile as we sat on the deck and watched the water flow swiftly on down the river. Those times have come to an end way too soon and we will miss her so much. Johnny, our hearts ache for you and we pray God's comforting love and peace will surround you. Our love and prayers are with you. Jack & Kay Pepper
