Dear Cousins, we are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your sister Lynda. Our heart goes out to Adrian, Jon-Izaak, Joshua, Aunty Barbara, Gillian, Stephanie, Leonie & family members. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
This is very sad to hear.
I have very fond memories of her as a child.
She was so stylish and her bright smile filled the room with happiness.
May she rest in peace.🙏
Lost for real words Lynda resting in the lord hands 🙏
Lynda touched countless lives, including my own.
While I grieve her loss, I am profoundly grateful for the hundreds of remarkable memories I have of working alongside dear Lynda.
Her strong work ethic, unwavering dedication, humility, enthusiasm, and heartfelt passion for serving mothers with the love of Christ and His Blessed Mother inspired all who met her.
I had the great privilege of working with her, praying with her, taking long walks together, and even dancing with her at weddings, parties, and the polka in my own kitchen.
Her laughter, warm smile, wisdom, the twinkle in her eyes, and her grace-filled, merciful spirit that always prioritized her family— will remain in our hearts forever.
Thank you, Lynda, for all you gave of yourself. Please know, John and I will never forget the Samosas!
But most especially, thank you for your profound commitment to our ministry.
You will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.
You’ve impacted so many lives! May you rest in the arms of Christ whom I know you love so much very much.
Your family is in our prayers.
My darling Aunty and the rest of the family,
There are no words that make this easier. Lynda was one of a kind and you were so lucky to have each other.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Grieving Lynda is going to take time. I can’t imagine how much you’re hurting right now.
Sending you all my love and strength.
May Lynda’s soul rest in peace.
The news of Lynda’s final departure from earthly life came as a complete shock to everyone. Lynda will be dearly missed by all who had known her for many decades or as in my case, who had met her just a few months earlier.
I first met Lynda when I flew to Canada in April 2026 from Australia for her mom’s 100th birthday celebration. The memories are still fresh of the time when I called Lynda from the airport on arrival. She offered to pick me up and in 30 minutes she was in the airport pick-up lane. I was not aware that this would be my first and the last encounter with Lynda. She has left an indelible mark of everything she cared about in just a short few days. She will be missed dearly.
Though her departure feels like a loss for us all, having a person like Lynda in God’s presence is heaven’s gain of immeasurable magnitude. May she find eternal rest in the heavenly kingdom and may the hand of the sovereign God continue to be upon all the family.
Dear Adrian, Jon Izaak & Joshua, Aunty Barbara, Gillian, Stephanie and Leonie,
“Those we love don’t go away;
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and always Dear.”
Love and God Bless,
Ava, Mia, Rachael n Dre, Kathryn, Doreen & Adrian.
My heartfelt condolences May God give you peace and may she Rest in Peace You will be dearly missed

A life of grace and beauty. Lynda was the calm in the storm. I am so thankful to have known her through Catholic Moms Group Ministry. While our hearts are broken, we take comfort that she is at peace. A life of love, a life lived well. A good and faithful servant to the end.
Lynda was such a light. I knew her through the Mom’s group ministry. What a blessing to have witnessed her faith and hard work. May eternal rest grant unto Lynda O Lord. Deepest condolences to her family.
Our prayers are for Lynda’s beloved family who she left behind. May her soul Rest in Peace. May God give each of you the strength and courage to bear this great loss.💐
A beautiful light has gone out on earth to shine even brighter in heaven ✝️ Thinking of you all in this very sad time. Lynda was so special, so loved, she will be missed by all who knew her. May love and memories help soften your sorrow and fill you with God’s peace🙏✝️💟
Blessings & peace to the Halys and Lynda’s husband & precious sons. Jesus said “even though you die, you shall live” – please take comfort in those words and believe that Lynda walks amongst us. It must pain her to see the sorrow her passing has caused. So do put on a brave smile as your interactions with her play like a reel in your minds. Lynda was, is and will always be a part of each of you. Sending warm hugs of comfort.
So sad to have heard the devastating loss of Lynda just yesterday from my sister Sandra Fisher. Only met Lynda in person just last year about this time, together with Adrian and the boys.
Seems something more than coincidental that we ( Stonehouses’) finally met up with our cousin Lynda and her family only to experience such a loss so soon.
As short as that visit was, her grace, integrity , calmness and faith could be clearly seen and instantly felt by all around her.
Our deepest sympathy to Adrian, Jon-Izaak and Joshua as well as to my Aunty Barbara,Gillian, Stephanie, Leonie, their families and all the relatives.
May Lynda’s soul rest in eternal peace.
Gerry Stonehouse and all the rest of the Stonehouse family in the UK.
I will always remember Aunty Lynda bringing a warm and positive energy wherever she went. Our deepest condolences, may she rest in peace ❤️
Praying for uncle Adrian, Jon-Izaak and Joshua, Nana Barbara, aunty Leonie, aunty Stephanie, aunty Gillian, and all the Halyburton family and extended family through this very difficult time. Thinking of you all, and sending lots of love and strength your way.

Our deepest condolences to all the Halyburton and Kilroy family. This is truly a sad day, but we take solace and comfort that Lynda has gone to be with the Lord. The world’s a little quieter now, the colors have lost their hue. The birds are singing softly, and our hearts are missing you. Each time we see a little cloud, or a rainbow soaring high, we’ll think of you and gently wipe a tear from our eye.
Rest in peace Lynda
Thank you for the love I have felt through Lynda. This love must have also come from the family and friends Lynda was surrounded by.
Each time I travelled to the DWF conference over the years from a long distance, Lynda shared a beautiful warmth when I would finally arrive. The love Lynda would share with me in such brief moments as I came through the doors made me feel like I had arrived to a place where I belonged – home. This had a ripple effect on the people that would visit me from afar. Lynda had a humble and strong commitment to be hope filled! This is a special charisma and Lynda was an amazing woman. She will be deeply missed and I will pray for the repose of her soul. May Eternal Rest grant onto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.
Adrian and family, we’re deeply saddened at the passing of Lynda. Condolences to all. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
