I’m sorry for your loss Please except my condolences. Lynn was a great person.She will be greatly missed.She did so much to help others, My prayers go out to the family
A line from a Blue Grass gospel song comes to mind;
‘Don’t look on my cold form in pity
Don’t think of me as one dead.
It will just be the house I once
lived in – my spirit by then will
have fled. I will have finished my
time here allotted. I won’t be in
darkness no more, for I will have
heard from Heaven – the summons to
come on home…’
Lynn was a good woman and she will be missed greatly. Her death should remind each of us, ‘That God puts us here for the short time. Not the long time. Make sure it is a good time’.
We are sorry that we can not be there with you, but always remember – Faith, Hope & Charity and the greatest of these is Charity.

My memories of Lynn are from Enka High School. She was always smiling and a very good basketball player. She liked every one and every one liked her. Where has the time gone? We shall meet again..
To the entire Holbrook and Price families, my sincerest condoleances. Lynn truly was one of the strongest and most genuine people I’ve ever had the joy of knowing. My heart goes out to all of you.
Scott, may God continue to comfort you and the entire Holbrook family during this time. Please know your family is in my prayers.
