Dear Dorothy, Nola and family. So sad for you all as you walk this path. Lynn was lucky to have family and friends in his life. He will be missed in the community. With sympathy, Deanna Sanderson

Sorry to hear of your loss. Our Deepest Sympathy Dr. Dick and Kathy Splichal
Our prayers go out to the family
Dear Dorothy, Nola, Jerry and family, We have a delightful memory of meeting Lynn when Nola & Jerry were engaged. He was excited to have another "guy" in the family! Now, with another brother-in-law, there would be 4 men and 3 women in his family verses the 2 men and 3 women he grew up with – he was pleased! Included is a prayer from Dr. Michael Easely, given at Fellowship Bible Church in 2009. "I pray for you today that your memories will be sweet, that your hearts will be calmed, that you will find a non-anxious presence. That you will choose to trust and see good where there is nothing for sure, that you will grieve, but not as those who have no hope, that you will find comfort and mercy in places others may never know. That your "why" questions will be replaced with a confidence in knowing that, our heavenly Father knows, and that’s enough. We love you and ask Him to pour mercy, kindness, healing and hope into your heart. He does indeed know you and love you no matter what your experience may try to tell you." Our hearts are truly saddened with the death of Lynn and we lift you up to the Lord for strength and guidance as you walk this new path, Dennis & Merry …
