Dorothea, Sue, Karen, Warren, Kelly, and Nancy,

I send you all hugs.  I send you and your nephews wishes if solace.  Only a few days ago I was going through some old photos with a young friend, who asked me, “Hey is this macrame?  I know macrame was popular when you were a teenager.”  I said to this young person, “No, I didn’t make that.  Our neighbor, Linda West, made it.  She was always creating something artsy and craftsy.”  I remember speaking to Linda in the vestibule of Saint Catherine’s only moments before Tommy’s wedding.  She had her little son in tow.  I hadn’t seen her fir some time.  I said, “Oh, Linda, I’m so happy to see you and your little guy.”  She said, “Well there was no way I was going to miss Tom Lacy’s wedding!  He’s family.”  I will not be coming to Kansas City for Linda’s funeral.  Please know, though, that I’ll be thinking of all of you.  I wish you great peace.  Amy Lacy

She was a loving Grandma to Byron and Hayden. Byron always loved getting boxes in the mail filled with gifts for him! She always sent the best gifts! 

Linda was a great Mother In-law. Always took time out of her day to call and check up on the family!  

I have such fun memories of spending every summer with my beautiful cousin Linda at our Grandpa’s farm in Wisconsin and at our Aunt Barbara’s house in Ladysmith.  We would spend each day together exploring the backroads of the farm and wandering the streets of Ladysmith with our cousins.  She had the prettiest smile and laugh.  Later in years, after I moved to Kansas City, Linda and I would get together at her house or go out together and I will always cherish those times I got to spend with her.  I love you Linda Jean! 

Linda always had great crafts that she would share with the family all the holidays. She was loved by many and will be missed but her memories will live forever in those that loved her.
