Shortly after Lynda died on Thursday the 6th of July, a major thunderstorm rolled in that rocked Auckland for the rest of the day. As her son-in-law Joseph was tucking his kids in that night, both frightened by the storm, he muttered “Move along Lynda, please!”. But it rained heavily for days.
Monday, however, was a glorious sunny winters day. The funeral at Landsendt in Oratia was beautiful, the speeches were fantastic, and the weather held for the most part.
It was a fitting send off for Lynda. She would have loved it.
If anyone has any other nice photos, please email them through to me and I’ll add them below.
And please, feel free to add a comment to the board below – whether you were there or not.

I did not have the privilege of going to the funeral, but to follow her story through the blog! I imagined she would be very happy because even the weather contributed to make the day beautiful, for a moment I stopped and I smiled with great gratitude for her life.
Everything beautiful!
Luke please post the photos and text on the card her grandchildren gave to those of us able to attend, it was a lovely part of the day she planned. thank you
Ah, thanks for the reminder. I will share a link to the slideshow of photos shortly.
Lynda’s choice of the opening anthem was perfect – she absolutely was a wonderful and treasured friend to many of us; it’s also a powerful takeaway message for us all to reflect on how we relate to others. Thank you Lynda – your advocacy work continues!
Sending all our love and strength to the entire family from us here in Mexico!
