Linda will be so missed. We had such great times over many years. We'd go shopping, meet for coffee, (to "catch-up"), dinners out, and attend important family events. The past years we kept in touch through emails and phone visits. She will always be remembered and all the memories will be so cherished.

I will miss talking to Linda about her family life and the wise advice she gave. I remember her helping me get through a difficult period in my life. I couldn't have done it without her. She will be sorely missed.Karen

Our Sister will be deeply missed. She will be remembered for her love of family, quilting talents, wisdom and advice. She was our "Go To" person. We will carry her our hearts. Linda gave Karen and I this picture. She said it reminded her of when we were young. Lori
