Jim and I are so sorry to hear of Linda's passing, but we know she is in a much better place now....She is with God, and she, of all people, did shine with God's glory every single day of her life.....I will miss seeing her in the hallways at Church and I will miss seeing her in the Choir, and I will miss that beautiful smile of hers, of which she always had....May God be with you and your entire family right now and forever more......

Jim and June Balkema

Dear family of Linda,
I was a student of Linda's at Kudzu in the early 2000s. She was a great teacher, patient and always kind and gentle with us newbies. 
I saw her at JoAnn's not too long ago and said loudly "There's my favorite quilt teacher". She smiled and said she really appreciated me saying that, and that she had retired and was shopping for fabric to make things for her grandchildren, whom she loves dearly.
I will always remember her fondly and I know she will be missed. But now she is singing in the heavenly choir! Praise God!

Dear Ron, Ryan, Jennifer, Barbara, and Family, Linda was one of the most loving and kind persons I know.  She was a picture of Jesus.  She had a kind word to say about everyone that she met.  She and I spent hours talking about our families.  I loved to hear stories about her grandchildren and to see the pictures she had of them.  They were the joy of her life.  We will always remember her.

Linda was such a lovely person, larger than life!  I loved hearing her share stories about her much loved grandchildren.  We shared 15 years together studying God's Word in Precept Bible Study.  Her knowledge of His Word inspired me and I have no doubt that Linda is in the presence of Our Lord.

Ron, Ryan, Jennifer, Barbara and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Linda having passed. She was so talented in her quilting and making clothes for the grandchildren. Linda was such a lovely lady and will truly be missed. Ron, you and Linda have been such good friends and neighbors to my parents. You were both kind-hearted when my mother, Margaret Dixon, lost our dad; and everything you did for us during that time.  May God wrap his loving arms around each of you, with every hug received. Fondly,

It hurts my heart to hear of the passing our dear quilter friend; she was such a shining light in our quilting community -- her booming, animated voice; her energetic, effervescent personality; her passion for sparkle, color and shine, which translated so well into her quilts, clothing, and manicures! :-) Her deep deep love of her family & friends; and her willingness to share all with those who knew her. She will be missed by many...my thoughts are with you...

Dear Ron, Jennifer and Ryan,
 So many times over the last 20 years I have received a birthday, Valentine's day, or Christmas card from my precious friend, Linda. When I opened the card out fell confetti like a wonderful celebration! I think many of us received cards of encouragement and love from Linda over the years... She deeply loved her family and her friends... and it showed! She will be greatly missed! Praying for God's presence and peace for all of you today and in the days ahead.
With much love, Bob and Sheila Hinds

Ron, Ryan & Elizabeth, Jennifer & Daniel, and your precious children, and Barb:
Linda truly was such a wonderful friend and her faith and family were the center of her life!  We will all miss her so much!

Ron, I can't begin to imagine the pain you are feeling.  So sorry I can't be with you at this time but I'm out of town.  Linda was one of a kind and always made everyone around her feel so special and so happy just to be in her presence.
