Rachel Yarbrough, Ed.D. wrote a sympathy message

“Lyndal was a faithful man, gifted by God to share musical talent and kind heart with others. He loved Peggy so much and the two of them were blessed by God. I had the privilege of singing with both of them for several years as part of the “Vocalistycs”. We shared God’s love through song together. As I think about Lyndal, I remember singing harmony around the piano, talking in their kitchen, and recording in a Nashville studio. “Absent From the Body - Present With the Lord” - Indeed it is so”
