Saddened to hear of Lynda’s passing. Love and prayers to all the family. God Bless
I did not know Carol personally except through her sister-in-law Jan Barnhard.I know from Jan that she was a wonderful Christian lady who led a beautiful Christian Life. I’m sure God is well pleased with her. My prayer is for God to put his loving arms around the entire family and all the friends all who knew her and give them peace. She went home where she belonged and is reunited with all loved ones who went before her.
I would like to send my deepest sympathies to Lynn’s family. She was my cousin, friend and when at the age of 8 cut our finger and became blood sisters. I loved her dearly and will miss her greatly. God took her home to sing with the Angels singing Holy, Holy, Holy to our Lord and Savior. May peace be given to Kitty, Elbert, Jeff, Lori, Brandon and Grandkids. Sympathy to all who knew her.
I attended church at one time with Lynda and Elbert and quickly grew to love them. Lynda was a very special woman and without a doubt she was a special teacher. She had a mischievous side and a funny little giggle. Lynda had a smile that could light up a room. My prayer is that God will give comfort to her family and hold them close until they meet again.
I worked with Lyn at Poca High School. She always kept us laughing and brought joy to the school. She kept the students in line, but they knew she cared deeply for them. Her famous catch for reminding students to save their work was, “Be like Jesus and save, save, save!” Her memory will forever live on by those that she impacted while at PHS.
