    Steve Q. Me and my Mom about 1974

    I remember first meeting Lynda in 1984 at the Fed Station Post Office. She had an amazing smile and personality but she also wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I thought she was a little firecracker. I think the last time I saw her was in 2006 while on an office visit (Canyon Station) as an area steward. R.I.P Lynda. My prayers go out to her family!...

    Steven Jesse LewisAug 1984

    I met Lynda when I started the post office in 1989. I was a new father and she would listen to me talk about my babies and she'd tell me the latest about Crystal and Candice. She went to the Hills and I didn't see her for almost 20 years. She had a period of time where she hadn't bought her Elsinore house and had no car. I would often take her to a...

    Rebecca Soukup Whether it was birthdays, graduations , gender reveals /baby showers , hospital stuff , trips or just visiting with each other, I always enjoyed our time together and seeing your smiling face. You got my sense of humor which isn’t for everyone- which I feel like would make you laugh even more. You have been a part of every major milestone for over the last 20 years of my life.

    The most precious yet bitter sweet memory I have of my godmother was after we lost our grandfather, we were all gathered together at my grandmothers and Aunt Lynda was holding the family together with her calm yet strong presence. I’ll never forget her making homemade cinnamon buns for all of us as we sat together and shared all kinds of stories a...

    Dear Mom, I still remember the day I stopped calling you mommy. I was proud when I chuckled out Mom. I thought I knew everything. But then I remembered how much fun it was to look up to you. I always wanted to be just like you. I thought if I could just be like you everything would be just fine. Well in an eggshell everything and everyday did work...

    I've known Lynda for almost 38 years I worked with her at Sunkist station and then at Anaheim hills she was my T-6 she did my route on my days off. Of all the conversations we had most of the time it was about family. Her kids, grandkids were her life, she was so excited to be a great grandmother. We would talk about things we were doing to our h...

    Monica Wooley Me and Lynda was co workers for many yrs at Anaheim hills station we talked every day about everything Lynda was someone that was never afraid to speak her mind she was are Lil firecracker 🧨 lol she had a heart of gold was just so caring she was there for me when I needed her the many days I cried she was there to listen she would always ask me how me and the baby was doing there was never a day that we didn’t talk or I would crack a joke and she would just fall out laughing are other co worker gave her that name firecracker because if u came off at her in a wrong way she would fire off! So every morning I would say good morning my lil firecracker she would turn around and just laughed! This passing of her has hit me hard.. me and Lynda didn’t eat meat so she would tell me of good places to eat by are job. She was also amazing with all the cakes 🎂 she’s baked and she never charged to make the cakes for any of are co workers retirement or other parties we would give in the office most importantly I’m gonna miss seeing her in the office all are talks personal and non personal I’m crying now as I’m writing this. Because someone with a beautiful heart and soul leaves it hits us all in so many different ways.. and she was family to us!no more seeing that smile or sometimes being the last one lol her saying to me monica I need keys and gas card please! no more of her beautiful cakes glad I always took pictures of them no more of her good conversations this is really a hard pill for me to sallow 😭😭 I question God plans because apparently he needed you more.So Lynda aka my lil firecracker continue to sleep in place and this is only a bye for now until next lifetime you are now are angel looking over us in the office Love you always Monica Wooley

    Steve Quick Your Grandson and your Great Granddaughter they love you so much.

    So many funny memories of our Lynda. My favorite will always be the ugly bag. As my T-6, I would always come back after a day off to find "Lynda droppings". A dirty coffee cup and spoon, discarded clothes. So at Christmas I decided to get her A Big Ugly Bag to carry her stuff around in. Filled it with snacks, gift cards, bandaids, lotion, a stapler...
