I rejoice that by knowing the Lord you are new again. How wonderful to know that you are without pain and able to reach out and see Jesus. How blessed that we have everlasting life through Christ. I never had the opportunity to know you. But I want you to know that I've come to know your son Brian and that he is a man that would make you proud. A fine, even tempered gentle man that commands the love of his wife and children. He is quite smart too. You and your husband did a fine job in raising him and I know that you were most pleased. I know he spoke of you often and that you were loved. Again, the blessing by having families built on a solid foundation. I know you will be missed very much by your family and that is a testament to the love you gave through the years.

Dear Family, We are praying that you will feel God wrapping His arms around you in this time of unspeakable grief. A loss of a mother and wife is a very great loss. Remembering so well the time Linda and I spent putting up and correcting lights on The Singing Christmas Tree! With love, Tom and Sallyanne Lenderink

My condolences to all of you on the passing of Linda. Ralph & Marion, how well I remember all the walks to school Linda and I shared over the years. She used to wait for me on the corner of Isabella & Marshall and we'd walk to Oakdale every day. In the winter we'd stomp on the ice over the puddles and talk about our teachers. In the Christian High days, I'd wait for her on your back porch and we'd walk, lugging our heavy books and talking about the cute boys we liked and the icky ones we didn't. She was my friend, quiet, sweet, and kind. God bless you all as you'll miss her so much. Linda will get along really well with the angels!

Don, Brian, Sara and Julie,
 I was very surprised to hear of Linda's passing and didn't know she was fighting a terminal illness. I was out of town last week and missed the visitation and memorial service. In fact, I didn't know about it until Dave Dishaw called me on Friday. I will always remember her smile and outgoing, friendly nature, both during the Tri-unity times as well as whenever I saw her after that. She always greeted you with Christ's love. She was a great wife and mom I am certain. I know you will miss her but rejoice with you that we will all be able to see her again in heaven.

Sara, 
 What a terrible loss, I just found out about it. Your mother was a wonderful woman and it grieves me and the kids that you all won't have her around for the next 20 years. Jared, Janella, John and I all wish we could fix it for you. Death is a thief. You can look ahead to seeing her in the future but you live in the now, God be merciful to you the rest of your days on this earth I pray, you have gone through a lot already. Jesus, please help the whole family. In His love,
