Sending my sincere condolences to the Skelley family at your time of loss. Lynda and I were best friends for over 68 years after we met at Roosevelt Jr. High in 1957. Our lives were intertwined as we married, had children, had some adventures together and did lots of shopping! She made life fun and interesting. I will certainly miss my best buddy and best friend and will cherish the memories. Rest in Peace my sweet Lynda.

To the Skelley family I send my sincere condolences in your loss of Lynda. We were best friends as our lives intertwined for 68 years. We went through all the ups and downs of life together. I will cherish all the precious memories. RIP my sweet girl.
Love, Bev
Mom... "Thank you" for the care packages packed with thoughtfulness, intentional love and kindness- that found me no matter where in the world I was. We knew you were always there - our biggest fan- to listen, share, celebrate or console... whatever the occasion or circumstances required.
For the often unsolicited and unspoken acts of love, concern and grace you extended to anyone whom you became aware of in need.
The care, simplicity and quiet love you extended your family and friends was appreciated, admired and respected.
The youthful energy, commitment, dedication and spirit of doing whatever you could for us and others will always be remembered and cherished at the center of our memories of you and the stories we will retell and share till we are with you again.
Sending my deepest condolences to Lynda's family. I have known Lynda since high school. I really enjoyed chatting with her and catching up about our familys when we would run into each other. Rest in peace friend. Carole Gallina (Chamblin) Ahola
Sweetheart! Thats what I think when I think of Lynda. I still remember going to her and Jim's wedding and thinking she was a living doll. Then when met her and talked with her never changed my mind on either thought. Her and Jim were the perfect couple. I am happy thinking that her and Jim are reunited. My sympathy to you all but I know she will be remembered with love by all who knew her.
