Ms Linda.. I'm not sure were to begin! I'm grateful to have got to spend these past years with you, to get to know you all over again..you were truly an amazing little lady. A lady who never looked at the glass half empty or half full but Just FULL! You were always a light of positive, a generous soul who loved her family so dearly! You never forgot a birthday and your eyes would light up anytime your nieces and nephews would come to visit you! I'm going to miss watching our silly soap operas that never made sense and eating our bottomless French fries from Red Robin! I'm sitting here thinking of how you loved secrets! You love to be the first to know especially before Mary! But once you knew, it was soo hard for you to keep it in. Oh cant forget shopping.. You loved to shop!! It's around this time you would start asking me if I started Christmas shopping!! Drove me crazie lol cause it was Only August! These are only a few memories that have crossed my mind these past couple of days but I know you are in a beautiful place were you can do everything you missed and every thing you dreamed of doing! Rest in peace little lady! I know you are an angel above like you were here on earth. Love you!

LINDA ALWAYS HAD A SMILE, NO MATTER WHAT.  SHE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO SHARE HER MEMORIES AND THOUGHTS.  I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER IN HER FAVORITE APRON ON THANKSGIVING DAY, WHEN SHE WOULD TRY TO HELP HER MOTHER IN THE KITCHEN.  NOW, THEY ARE TOGETHER AGAIN.  WHEN I THINK OF YOU, I WILL SMILE,  BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME GOOD MEMORIES.

Linda you were such a calm soul.  Always pleasant, no matter what.  Even though Danielle and I saw seldom saw you, it was always good to see you and that you always remembered us with hugs.  God be with you and give our love to all of the good people who are welcoming you with open arms!

I MET YOU WHEN I WAS 2 WEEKS OLD,SO I GUESS, I'VE KNOWN YOU LONGER THAN MOST. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WON'T BE HERE AFTER SO MANY YEARS TOGETHER. I BELIEVE YOU'RE FINALLY ABLE TO DANCE AND CLAP YOUR HANDS AND ROAM HEAVEN BAREFOOTTED. I LOVE YOU, LITTLE SIS!

Linda, where do I begin? Words can't express how much I miss you already. I it is said that our loved ones that have passed are the Angles watching over us now. Linda my love you were the exception to the rule. I have never known anyone that has had a soul as pure as you yours. You were an Angle here on earth and have touched so many people in your short time here. I've always looked up to you. A woman who's handled life's big curveballs with such dignity and grace. People could learn a thing or two from you .Keep on smiling and be great full for today and for what tomorrow may bring.  I love you Linda thank you for always listening. May God bless you for being the light in everyone's life. 

Love Shannon Marie

Linda you were one of the most thoughtful persons I knew.  You always thought of everyone from their birthdays to christmas or just because.  You always had a smile and something to say to anyone.  I know now you are in no pain and dancing and doing all the things you couldent do here.  Im happy that you are with your parents again I know how you missed them.  I will miss our talks and things we would do.  Love Ana

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
