To the family of Lynda Fowler:
I just want to express my condolences to you over the loss of Lynda. I have only known Lynda for the past three months in a business relationship. I worked for her at B/E Aerospace. I very much enjoyed the brief amount of time that I was able to get to know her. The main memory that I will have of Lynda is the professional and energetic demeanor with which she always had. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends. God Bless You!
To the family of Lynda Buckner Fowler: I am sorry to hear of the passing of Lynda. She was one of my good friends at Candler Elementary School. I remember her sweet personality, her artistic ability and what a neat person she was. May God be with all of you.
Dear Friends/Co Workers of Lynda Fowler. Thank you for such nice thoughts of my mother. She will be so dearly missed. She was an absolutely amazing lady. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experiences knowing her. It means a lot.
Sincerely,
Tobie McElrath
I only learned of Lynda’s passing in late December. I worked with her at Marconi. She was sweet and had a heart of gold. It’s hard to imagine her not being around to share a good story. She was totally focused on her children and loved them dearly. I can’t count the numbers of stories, both good and bad she told me about them. She was so proud of them and their talents. I know she’ll be missed. To her children, hold your memories close, she’ll always live in your hearts. She left far to early but don’t think for one minute that she’s not STILL watching over you. This verse always comforts me when I have to say goodbye to someone. It goes something like this.
Death is nothing at all. It does not matter. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything that’s been remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used…Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity…I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just a breath away…All is well.
In the eight years that I have worked with Lynda something wonderful happened, I made a great friend. Not only was she my supervisor she was a great friend. She brought so much joy to everyone she met. Lynda will be greatly missed as a co-worker and even more so as a friend.
May the God of all Comfort, Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, give the family of Mrs. Fowler the comfort needed in this time of sorrow.
May you find comfort from His Word, the Bible, where He informs us of the benefits of the ransom of His Son, Jesus Christ.
One such is found at Acts 24:15 where He tells us that there ‘will be a resurrection of the righteous as well as the unrighteous’
What a wonderful time it will be when we all are reunited with our loved ones who are asleep in death.
I pray that you allow this hope to stay alive in your heart as you await the resurrection of Mrs. Fowler and all of your loved ones from the deep sleep of death.
Sincerely,
I was so sorry to hear of Lynda’s passing. I worked with her at GEC/Marconi during the 80’s and 90’s. She was always so cheerful and approachable. I had hoped to visit in the future. My condolences to you all. Lynda was great. Fay Billington
