To the family though you have lost someone very special and dear to our hearts she will always be with you though I know this does not hold much comfort for you now but in time it may get a little easier just remember to look to one another stay close to each other. I loved Linda dearly I enjoyed seeing her when she came in for her appointments laughing, joking , talking about anything. I am very thankful the god placed this special lady in my life I would not trade knowing her for anything in the world. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Doug and I will always remember Linda, especially before she became so ill.

I can still see her riding in that convertible down the highway! I know Carol will remember that too !

Please accept our deepest sympathy.

To the Family of Linda,
I'm very sorry to hear of Linda passing. I'm truly going to miss Linda. My heart was really heavy, and I was in the state of shock. Linda was doing so well, I didn't even think for a monument that she will be gone so soon. Linda always told me that she was going home to be with the Lord, but she always came back. I will tell her it wasn't your time yet. Linda I guess it was your time and I'm going to Miss You! She was always a blessing to me, and her perious memories and gifts she has given me I will always cherrish

Love You Always,

Michelle

To the family of Linda,
I'm so sad to hear of Linda passing,but happy to know that she is with the Lord. Linda and Carolyn would have us laughing so hard when she came to the lab at Stony Point. We will be looking for Linda if we hadden seen her in a while and will ask her where had she been.
I'll never forget linda told me that we was sisters now because I prick myself. I told Linda if it was anybody else I would worry but Linda was so up to date on herself. Linda made us christmas gifts and now I will think of her smile everytime I put it up at christmas. We loved your mother and will really miss her but we thank God for meeting that lovely and happy person as her.
Your family is in my prayers.
