The first time I met Linda, I was 12 years old. I will always remember her bright smile and bubbly personality. I have wonderful memories of our neighborhood gatherings that Linda, Jim, Robbie and Kenneth attended. Linda loved to visit with all of us. I will always be so grateful for her support at the sudden loss of my own mother. She truly was a great lady that will be missed not only by her family but her friends.

I was immediately drawn to Linda when she joined our church. She was feisty but loving and seemed to meet no strangers. In her suffering she continued to put others first. I will miss seeing you and bantering with you but most of all I will miss your hugs and love.
Jim, Linda was one of a kind and will be sorely missed by all who knew her. She thought of others more than herself. I was privileged to know her and received very thoughtful correspondence from her on a few occasions. I hope the wonderful memories of Linda will comfort you during this difficult time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
