I don’t know where to start except, I’m so sorry to Vern and Karl, this is truly devastating. She was a fun,kind ball of light with a pinch of sarcasm, (Kelley got the rest of it) and beautiful, so bloody beautiful!! Such a patient and caring woman. She will be missed so much but she will forever be with the kids she has missed. I loved spending time with her as she was always up for a laugh and a listening ear.Thoughts with her family and friends all over. Imagine the conversation between her and Kel now 🩷 love you Lynda, rest in peace and no more pain and BE GOOD!! ♥️
