Linda was a blessing to all who knew her.
Linda was a precious lady. From the first time I met her we just hit it off. I loved doing her hair but more than that I loved being friends with her. We shared so many enjoyable conversations about raising kids and life. We always laughed and laughed a lot even through her not feeling well. Family was everything to her! Linda was not only The Wife, The Mother, but she was The Friend to anyone that met her. She was My Friend and she will Truly be missed. I can envision her smiling right now. I will miss her!! My love to Jim and all of her family! Linda was a special woman and I thought the world of her!!!
My thoughts and prayers for you. I never knew Linda but if she was anything like her parents she was a magnificent person and will be missed by all who knew her.
My prayers go out to Jim and the rest of her family. I was Linda’s dental hygienist for over 25 years and adored her. She was smart, witty, and fun to be around. We loved to share stories of our families. May God provide peace to everyone who is grieving her passing.
I’m so sorry for your loss, thinking of you Jim, Dave, Cynthia and the rest of the family, you’re in my prayers.
What a wonderful, dear lady. She is missed terribly by so many. My deepest condolences to all of the family.
Worked with Linda many years as PHN. She was a joy to work with and I still recall some of her “funny stories”. Condolences to family.
