My best buddy, my road trip partner! My Heart is broken but fly high my friend! I know you are in the hands of our great Jesus! You can celebrate with family! We will sure miss you!
Love you buddy!

It is rare in life that you are blessed with true friends. Friends who will always be there for you to cry with, laugh with, and just be yourself with. I feel truly honored that Lynda was in that circle of the girls we call Fuzz and Wine. Cheers to you Lynda, hold your glass high and know one day we will all be reunited. Love you forever! Brenda

You were an amazing friend from the time we were in elementary school. You had a beautiful voice and musical talent galore. And a heart that was always kind!
In high school we drove a million miles in and around Lincoln, a lot of them in Harry Clyde’s blue Corvette. We could drive all evening on $5 worth of gas.
I loved you. My friend, the world is a much more lonely place with your passing.

Lynda, I’ll always remember your great sense of humor and your kindness to everyone. You’ll be missed, Richey.

I first met Lynda when I was hired at 18 years old to be her assistant in the accounting department of Simmons First Bank alongside Darlene Chatham. I drove her crazy 8 hours a day, Monday-Friday. But she created so much laughter and made a wonderful impression on my life. We have been friends for the past 23 years, sharing our love for the piano and recently working together to continue her husband’s care for the Lincoln Cemetery. She will be missed greatly by all of us who loved her.
