I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Hebert. He was my first boss, and I learned so much from him. I also went to Lee with Dixie. I know how much his family meant to him. Great man!

I will miss seeing you at BRG. Things won't be the same without you. You always had a kind word for me that always made my day brighter. I'll always have a cranberry nut muffin and a cup of dark roast waiting for you. I'll miss you dearly.

I worked with Lynwood at the K-mart in Baton Rouge in the mid-1970s. He made work days so much more enjoyable. Rest in peace, my friend.

Lynwood, you would love reading what your friends have to say here. I have known you and Lynda so long that I feel my life has been entangled with yours even though I've not lived in Baton Rouge for almost 50 years. I will truly miss thinking about you living your multi faceted and very interesting life, but I will now think of you as resting in peace without a care in the world. Love, Dixie

Will miss talking to Lynwood when he would answer the phone at the BRGMC. He was always cheerful. I know that his fellow employees will miss him but most of all his breakfast partner Pam

I had the pleasure of working with Lynwood, when he first became a dedicated volunteer for the Baton Rouge General, then as an employee. His kindness and sense of humor will be missed. My sympathies to his family.

I will miss seeing you on Saturdays. It will take getting used to you not being there for me to share a joke or laugh.
You were my confidant. When I searched for reason, I could always count on you for honesty and authenticity. You never "sugar-coated" your opinion. Our relationship was genuine and real. You now live eternally.
Until we meet again, I look forward to our continued conversations in the spiritual. Love, love, love you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
