I sure do Miss Lyndall especially at church. I can still see her standing up and waving while shouting and praising the Lord. She was our biggest fan while we were singing. She made the choir sing that much harder. I will always keep her and Michael in my heart.

I remember talking with her when her cancer was diagnosed. She told me that her goal was to see her grandkids through high school. She was lovely and funny and could take anything if it would get her closer to her goal. We will miss her!

Mrs. Campbell was an amazing mother, Christian, friend, teacher, and inspiration to all who knew her. Our families had so many fond memories that will last a lifetime. The world is better because she lived in it for nearly seven decades. My deepest sympathies go out to her family and extended family. Praying that God will grant His peace to those who cherished her most.

I first became friends with Mrs. Campbell years ago when their family came to Landis Baptist Church. Through the years at church she was my Sunday School teacher. To me she was a very dedicated Christian lady who loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I went to SRSH and had her as my Spanish teacher. She was very passionate about teaching Spanish and cared about her students. She was very inspirational and a big encourager. I always looked forward to my Spanish class! In 1999, our youth group took a trip to Corpus Christi, Texas. We went to visit Lester Roloff's Home for Boys and Girls. I remember how kind she and her husband were to help with the luggage at our stops for my daughter and I, then others. Always helping others. She did so much being in pain I know. She never wanted to stop, complain or give up. Truly a strong Christian lady and friend. I'll see you in heaven.
My love and prayers go out to her family. God bless~

What an amazing lady to provide the opportunity for students to see the world and to push us to be better and work harder than we usually wanted to. She taught with a passion that has truly made her a legacy. What a wonderful angel among us...fly high Senora Campbell!

When I heard her condition had gotten worse this past weekend I was compelled to write her a letter but then I heard she had passed. I wish I had reached out sooner. I will always remember playing connect four with her as a child. I thought she might have babysat me but when I asked my mom she said that mrs. Campbell just enjoyed my company and wanted to spend time with me. So thankful to have known such a wonderful woman loved by many. My prayers and thoughts go out to her family. God bless
