Lynda Murphy Knott

I was deeply sadden to learn of Lynda's death. We were friends, colleagues and confidentes. We regularly met prior to the pandemic so it greatly pains me that as the world got fragmented and then back to some norlmacy that we had lost touch. I truly hope you did not suffer my friend and am happy that you are in a place of peace. Lynda only got more beautiful over the years. She had a love for the business but an even greater and unwavering devotion to her children Shelby and Jack. ...

Lynda!! This is a love letter to you, one of the best people I´ve ever known in both my personal and professional lives. You´ve been my touchstone since the 80´s when you trusted me and my fledgling event business to assist with your client projects. You were so young and already so successful... Poised, beautiful, easy, kind, fair with people who you hired, your clients trusted you implicitly, your common sense and big ideas landed prime coverage. As our lives changed and our careers grew...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please take comfort in the words found at 2nd Thessalonians 2:16,17.

I was stunned to see this obituary in today's Chicago Tribune. I worked with Lynda at Golin-Harris in the early 1980s, before she left to form her own company. What a beautiful, kind and lovely woman she was. We had a mutual friend in the PR world and the three of us would socialize occasionally. One day we met up with her outside of her place, as she had been walking her dog. She exclaimed that we (her still single girlfriends) should get a dog, as the animal apparently attracted men...

First off, I am saddened at the news of her passing. The Lynda I remember from high school obviously carried forth into her career path and to her family. In high school, she was an amazing person always there and respected everyone. My best memory was before I had decided to move to Texas when I lived in the apartments near the junior high school. I don't remember what the event was but I do remember Lynda and I walking out to the football field late at night. We sat at center field and...

Lynda and I spent several years together on the Board of Directors for Designs for Dignity. Lynda was a special soul, always a burst of positive energy and love of life. I remember a special time when Lynda hosted the board at her Lincoln Park home for a rooftop party, a special time where we shared life stories and learned about her son and daughter, she was so proud. Lynda we love you, sending prayers as you are healthy now, a soul watching over us all with pure love. XO

Lynda was such a burst of power and energy. We served together on the Board of Directors for Designs for Dignity and spent many a day in planning and conducting charity events. I remember she hosted a rooftop board of directors party at her home in Lincoln Park, such happy times. I truly loved being in her presence. My heart is with her family, friends and everyone in her life, we will miss her dearly. Love to you Lynda, your soul is healthy and free, sharing the love and watching over us...
