I was a client of Linda's for several years, and when I moved my elderly parents here from Alabama they became clients of hers, too. Linda was always kind, considerate, and compassionate, and we shared several laughs about our relationships with our parents. She often said that my mother reminded her of her own mother, and we agreed that that was both a good thing and a not-so-good thing sometimes. She was very sweet to my mother and me after my father died three years ago following a lengthy illness, even though she was going through a rough patch at the time herself. I hope that memories of Linda's gentle nature and the loyalty she inspired in others will help her family through their grief, and the knowledge that, even at the end, she gave of herself to others, eases the pain of losing her.

Linda was such a gentle soul. She was always willing to help anyone that needed it and family was the most important thing in her life. Her gentleness, compassion, giving spirit, beauty and smile will be so dearly missed. She was loved so very much.
