Dear Norma and Family, I am so sorry to learn of the recent passing of Lynn. My memories go way back to years ago when Lynn and my youngest brother, Charles, were in school together and good buddies. And the many years Ellen and I worshipped at Calvary Baptist and enjoyed Christian fellowship together with your family. Lynn was a good man and a good friend. He will be missed greatly by so many. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad to learn of Lynn's death; however, as Philippians 1:22 states: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Jerry Dale and I enjoyed visiting with Lynn and Norma on several occasions. Jerry passed away August 14, 2018. As Christians, we look forward to joining our loved ones one day. Heaven is a Wonderful Place!! May God bless you with peace during these days.
