Dear Field family.
I am sad to hear of your loss. She was one feisty lady, with a ready smile. I will be praying for comfort and peace for you.
I’m so ashamed I hadn’t checked in with Lynda. I had no idea she was so ill. My love and prayers to Cody and Heather and kiddos. Y’all don’t know me but she and I “tore ’em up” in Tatum a few times. I hope you have the pictures of her at the “finishing school” in Lubbock that our parents made us attend. Priceless. And I hope you have enough good memories of her and your time with her to erase the bad ones.
Devoe, sending you prayers.

Devoe & Sherry, Words are so inadequate at a time like this, but please know that I think, with fondness, of you and send my love and condolences.
Many fond memories of Lynda during her formative years as a student in Tatum. And the more recent year (2017) when we attended the Tatum Community Reunion. Her sweet smile and hug greeted each, making us feel so special. She was a joy to know and an asset to the Tatum Community. She is and will continue to be missed.
We are saddened to see where Lynda passed away. She was such a sweet friend who always had encouraging words when you were going through hard times. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

So very sorry to hear about Lynda passing. I was so honored that she accepted me as a friend on Facebook and I got some glimpses of her life she was a amazing person. May she rest in peace❤️🙏❤️🙏 Devoe and Sherry my deepest condolences.
Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. Psalms 30:5 We repeated that verse often together and laughed so hard because that was the one she couldn’t remember. I’m going to miss you my friend. It is well.
With deepest condolences. Praying for the peace of God to comfort this family in the days ahead to come.
Ms Lynda will be missed by all who knew her. She was full of love and laughter. She loved to decorate her entire house for Christmas.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Farewell my friend
To Lynda’s family and dear friends, I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Needless to say, I was shocked when I started to wish her happy birthday today. I don’t think anyone at the Roswell Country Club knew this. I loved that woman and she brought a smile to everyone’s face. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is a huge loss in your life. She’s dancing in heaven!!
