My deepest symphony to the Lineburg family. Mrs. Lineburg taught PE to me in the 10th grade at Fieldale-Collinsville High School. She was the best PE teacher that I ever had. In fact, she one of the best teachers I had at F-C. She was very fair to the students, organized in her teaching, taught many varied activities , and very compassionate. I am sure she will be missed by many people. Thoughts and prayers are extended to the entire family.

Dear Norm and Family,
Joann was always very dear to me. She was the Girls' Basketball Coach at WBHS when I was their Manager and our G.A.A. Sponsor, too. She was always kind, caring and so much fun. I always loved running in to her and you when you would come to Roanoke to have "fun." She will be missed by so many WBHS students, teachers, and administration. I wish I could be with you on Saturday. Love to you, Norm, and the rest of your family.
