I was so sorry to hear about Linda's passing. We missed her at the 45th class reunion. I spent many times with Linda as a teenager at her house. My fondest memory is of an outdoor birthday party for her (16th maybe) when her parents had a band play (a group of guys from our class). Her mom was especially sweet, too.

Such a sweet, sweet person. I met Linda through her three lovely girls. They all have the same beautiful heart. I know the girls will miss her tremendously. Linda was always kind to me and even though I did not get to spend a lot of time with her she always treated me like one of her own. My prayers go out to all of the family at the loss of a beautiful angel.

My Precious Sister Linda! I will miss you on Earth until I see you again in HEAVEN! Everytime I paint pictures and do my artwork, I will think of you and smile. Because you are the one who taught me to paint and draw from the time that I was a little girl. I will miss our good times art shows and tea parties. You are the Best Sister that I could of ever asked for. You always encouraged me and made me feel like I could do anything in Life. Thank you for always being there for me. My Heart cries for you a million tears.........your little sister Patty

When I first met Linda, all 3 of her girls was friends with my daughter Charlene. Then Linda and I came real close until we moved in different places. I would run into her in different places. She was the dearest friend anyone could ask. I feel very sorry for the girls. I know what is like losing someone you really love very much. God Blessed you girls. mpbdm
