Words can’t express all the wonderful memories, affection and love that Aunt Linda shared with me throughout my whole life. She stepped in to be my Mom, when her sister, my mom Lillian died. She always had a smile, a hug and a funny story to share whenever I would visit her and that is how I will always remember her, laughing!
I just want to extend my condolences to Uncle Mel, Diane, Gene, their kids and grandkids. I know she will be sorely missed, but her legacy continues in all of her greatly loved family members. She was an amazing woman and I’m proud to say that we are related!
All my love, prayers & hugs!

Mel, Diane & Gene and all the family:
We are sending our love and prayers to all of you. Linda was a special friend since the day we met her so many years ago. We will miss her love and laughter and know she is smiling now with the Lord Jesus.
We are sorry we will miss the service as we are still in Fla. but know we will be thinking of you.
Love, Verlen & Judy

PBJ sandwiches and Kool-aid hanging out on the weekends. Acting as babysitter for Diane [who always loudly disagreed with the bed time] so Linda and Mel could go out. Good-bye dear.
