Dear Relatives & Friends,
It is with both a heavy and grateful heart that I advise y'all that my high-school sweetheart and precious wife of 58 years, went Home to be with her Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, yesterday, November 28, 2025 at 6:25 P.M. She was greeted by a vast number of heavenly host which includes our Triune God (Elohim), her Guardian Angel who Lynne kept very busy during her 76 earth years of life. Also in attendance were innumerable other angels, her earthly parents (Earl & Betty Buell), her Grampa (Fred Talford), her in-laws (Fred & Josephine Laurenzo) along with a vast number of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Friends than I can't begin to count. That doesn't include all the new friends who were awaiting her arrival. Thus began a totally, Pain-free life for the first time in 38 years!
Anticipating Lynne's Heaven-bound journey, our daughter, Kimberly Dunnam coordinated the meal and cooked a large portion of the Dinner including the Turkey, dressing, pies, salads and along with her Sister, Lisa Wells, planned and coordinated a memorable Family, Thanksgiving Day Dinner. Preceding Thanksgiving Day, Lisa & Kim cleaned our home like it hasn't been cleaned in the 2 years since Lynne's health took a dramatic decline. Wow & Thank You is all I can say!
Lynne slept on/off on Thanksgiving Day, but was able to speak with and enjoy visiting with all 4 daughters + their spouses, 9 of 11 Grandchildren and 6 of the 9 Great-grandchildren. Lauren is in Jordan working with the USO and Kristina Allen, a Beautiful R.N. and Army Wife was not able to make the trip from Ks. with her 3 sons. Her husband, Major Alex Allen, is serving in Poland.
Lynne has left a large and empty place in our hearts and lives. But, the Good News/Gospel makes our hearts Glad: She is alive evermore and we who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord do NOT grieve as those who have no hope for their eternal destination. We shall see Lynne again along with all of our Friends and relatives who accepted Jesus as their Savior and lived for Christ while on earth.
Scriptural Passages Concerning Believers Who Have Died & Where They Are.
I Thessalonians 4: 13-14
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
1 John 5: 11-13
11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Jesus Comforts His Followers
John 14 :1-3
1.“Do not let your heart be troubled. You have put your trust in God, put your trust in Me also. 2 There are many rooms in My Father’s house. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going away to make a place for you. 3 After I go and make a place for you, I will come back and take you with Me. Then you may be where I am.
