Dear Kelly, Debbie, and family, Donna and girls, Greg and Family and the many, many families she reached through the years of daycare and all friends through her lifetime of reaching out to others.
I am praying for you all. I wish I could attend the funeral or family night but I have to work I will always cherish all the fun times we had with Lyndall. She quite often stayed overnight at our house to catch a plane the next day and one time I will never forget she missed the flight OH MY she couldn’t believe it. She was tons of fun. I also miss my favorite Uncle Dalton and Aunt Thelma
Love to all of you

I heard of your mama’s passing at church. It actually hurt my heart. Lyndall was such a special person and such a devoted mother, grandmother and friend. She made a difference to so many lives in this area. I will always feel blessed to have known Lyndall and call her my friend.
All of this said, there has to be a happy reunion with her loved ones in Heaven. Much love, laughter, and homecoming. God has had her in the palm of his hands, always. Love to all of you.

Kelly, Donna, Greg and families, so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a special lady and I have such fond memories of summer visits. She would always make me feel welcome…what was one more kid in the house:) One of my favorite recipes is Angel Crisps which I got from her. As sad as her passing leaves us, she is reunited with Jr., Bruce, her parents and I know that my mom is SO very happy to see her! We know that all is well…and we will see her again!
