Lynda lived across the road from me when we first bought our house on 7th st in Chariton back in 1991. I never got to know her well, but i have fond memories of her and her girls being outside playing in the summertime. My condololences and prayers go out to Johnny, her parents and the rest of her family.

I knew Lynda when when were kids at Williamson Elementary School and later at Chariton. We may not have been close then, but had become friends again in the past year or so on Facebook. We had common interests since I used to live in Atlantic. She was clearly a brave woman who really liked to brag about her kids. I'm sorry for your loss.
