I am sending my sincere condolences to the family. May you find comfort in this thought found at Isaiah 61:1,2 which reads in part" God sent his son to bind up the brokenhearted and to comfort those who mourn."

My condolences are extended to the family and friends of Ms. Davis. Although I was not acquainted with her, I know Anselm from my years working at Pueblo Grande Museum. We always felt honored when Anselm participated in the Indian art market. May God bless the family during this time of healing and celebration of life for Lynda.

I worked with Lynda for several years. She always had a smile on her face. She took care of others, myself included. She ensured I ate nutritiously during my two pregnancies. And even came to check on me after my babies were born. She was a great lady and will be missed.

My heart was saddened today to hear of Lynda's passing. She always had a smile or kind word for people. She loved her family and job. I still remember her laugh and how she always tried to do her best everyday even when she was not feeling well. She will be missed.
