Condolences to the Mostella family
Grew up in Knoxville City Schools with Lennisa, she always had that flamboyant ways that I love about her, and when we where in elementary she would tell us in class of her trips to the Phillipians. She was great person to know. Prayers are flowing out to her family!

My Dear friend Lindy, I am truly saddened to hear of your passing. We met at the University of Tennessee years ago when we were students. I remember when you were pregnant with your first child, Shane. I always treasured knowing you as the classy, strong, educated, and loving woman that you were. It was always a joy to talk with you. I pray that your children and the rest of your family find peace and comfort at this difficult time. Rest in heaven my friend and tell your beautiful mother hello for me. God Bless you!
