Karen, Pat and I were so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. Lots of memories about the many sleepovers at your house. She was always so sweet and kind to us. She even gave me a ''Pounding Shower'' when we got married. We are praying for God to comfort you in the days ahead. Love you very much!

So many of my preteen and teenage memories center around potluck dinners with the Lintons, the Corleys and the Hollingsworths. Miss Lynn's tamale pie and pecan pie are standouts in my memory of excellent meals and fellowship. We were so blessed to be raised by parents who loved Jesus and their families. Skeet and I are praying for you and sending our love. May you be comforted by memories of a life well lived. Rest in love and peace, Miss Lynn.
