    Floyd,, Noreen, Butch, and Tina, and spouses, and children,, I am so very sorry to hear of Lynda’s passing. One thing that I do know, is that is there ever was a Mother who was strong and loving, and took such amazing care of her family,, it would have been her. Just know that the values you have learned, the dreams she helped you discover, with the encouragement to grow independently, all came from your Mom with such love and pride. You have her strength in each one of you, and you will all need to lean on that strength now , to get you through this emotionally time in your lives. You are in my thoughts, each one of you,, hugs to you all. Those of us who have already lost our Mothers, know exactly the pain that you are feeling right now. There is nothing quite the same as losing your Mom. Hugs again…..
