With deepest sympathy to the Jones Family:
I have known Lynda for many years. She was truly a beautiful shining light with an infectious spirit that shined through her warm and loving smile! Lynda was highly intellectually smart and financially business savy in a user-friendly manner. And I was impressed with her speaking abilities and skills.
May the family find comfort, strength and peace knowing that she was sincerely loved by all and will be missed. However, we will see her again in heaven, and "oh what a celebration!"
And I know that God welcomed her to a glorious new home and said "servant well done."
Lynda, thank you and Jerry for your exemplary service in hosting on many occasions the world renown Rust College A 'Capella Choir!

Condolences with deepest sympathy and empathy to the family on the loss of a very lovely and sweet person. I met Lynda in 8th grade at CHS in 1964, she was friendly and always had a smile when I saw her. Not often do you met a real round about person. She spoke to you even if you weren't in the social rhelm and I experienced her friendship all the way thru HS and on other occasions. May God's solace be with the family, loved ones, and friends. Memories keeps her close.
My condolences to you and your family Andy on the loss of your beloved sister. I'm praying for you all my friend. Love you Andy
