I want to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family. It was a pleasure to have worked with and know Linda for over 18 years. Linda was a very kind, generous, fun loving person. Linda loved dancing💃.  Linda often shared her heart's desire and had such a deep love for her mother, siblings, her children and grandchildren. One of Linda's greatest desires  was to have grandchildren. The Lord blessed her with that joy by having at least 9 grandchildren. Linda always shared how proud she was of the many accomplishments and success of all her children. She was a proud mother, wonderful (memaw)grandmother , a great coworker and a dear friend. Linda is missed and her joy and her love will live on in our hearts and throughout the generations of her beloved family. I thank God that I was given the opportunity to have known her and share a small part of my life with her.
My husband and I will keep the family in prayer as they maneuver through life without her here on this earth. 
    
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.


May the love of family and friends help carry you through your grief. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time of sorrow.  May God sustain you at this time of such great loss.  While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our heavenly Father return your dear one to you.  So, look into the Bible for a scripture that will help give your family the comfort and hope that they need. Here is a wonderful thought.  It reads like this.  "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."  John 5:28,29

Mother I miss you already.  I know that Mama and Uncle Ervin  were waiting  for you.  Now you can wear the crown that you deserve.
I love you,
Crystal

What a sweet friend with a great big heart.  She was known to give her last when she new she was struggling herself. Her laughter made you feel like somebody that really understood and cared where you were coming from—-in other words, she was very relational.

Although no words can take away the sorrow that you bear. May it be comforting to you to know that others care. Our deepest condolences to Crystal and the Tillis family.  

Love you sooooo much Aunt Linda. You always gave me words of encouragement that I will never forget. May you rest in eternal peace. 

Love Lil Ronald

Losing Linda is so hard for me,yet I know she is in a much better place. She was my very best friend. We leaned on each other. We laughed together, cried together, and joked together. I would cook and we would eat together, and we would call on Our Father together.  We would talk about her children and grandchildren together. My heart is very heavy now, for I am missing her so much, but I know Our Father always knows best. This is his will, so I release her until we meet again.
