    I had the greatest pleasure and honour to work with Lynda at SHDHS in the cafeteria with Jennie Rowe and Staff. Also as well at the Recreation Centre Food Booths. Always a smile on Lyndaโ€™s face and a very hard worker. Lots of amazing wonderful memories of Lynda. I even helped Lynda and Jennie do odd jobs last year(2016).

    My deepest condolences to all Family, Baker ,(Strie) & Friends of Lyndaโ€™s.

    Robert Meyers.

    Sending the whole family our deepest condolences. We have been friends for so many years with Dave and Lynda . Then the twins came along. They filled their lives with love and joy. We spent many a time at the farm and on to the Domtar dances or just a get together. We were so shocked to read that Lynda had passed. She will be missed by so many. Her laugh will always be remembered and her honest soul. We have heavy hearts and want you to know we are thinking of you all and she is united with the ones above looking down.
