Allan and Sharon, we are so sorry for the loss of your Mom. Lynda Sue was the epitome of a gracious Southern lady. We are extremely grateful to have been part of her family. We always enjoyed her visits to Tarboro. We are also grateful that even as she battled her own cancer, she always kept in touch with Dad and checked on him. Dad always enjoyed when they spoke. Your Mom fought long and hard and now she is resting in peace. Love to you all.

Allan. Sharon and Families, My sincere condolences in the loss of your Mother. Lynda and I worked together at Reynolds for a number of years, several of which were in the same department. She was also one of the “girls” that had remained close through the years since we retired having lunch whenever we could. She will be missed.

Dear Sharon, Allan and Family,
Sharing in your sadness at the loss of your amazing Mother Lynda. She loved the Lord Jesus with all of her life. Her gifts of teaching His Word will live on in all those privileged to have her friendship. She loved with joy and was absolutely a mentor. I know Jesus better because of the way she lived. With love and prayers, Lori and Jay Grandin
