I can't believe it has been year already since Linda's passing.  Miss her bunches and never forgotten.

I met Linda through her daughter in law,Nicole.We were friends from the start, because of our similar personalities. Teasing each other, and laughing at almost everything. I just learned she loved cooking as much as I.(HA)I will miss our card playing days,even though she won most of the time.We can cry because she has left us, or smile because we had the priviedge of knowing her.

Linda and I met through our Dogs when she was walking Finny around the block.  Although, we were neighbors for 7 or so years we didn't meet until 2009.  We quickly became very close friends and spent many hours together.  A lot of times we would eat dinner together watch a dog show and have a glass of wine and would share our deepest thoughts.  Linda was very loyal and dependable as a friend, whenever anyone needed something she was always there in a moment.  I can't tell you how many times she took me or my dogs to the hospital.  Linda was the rock that I leaned on and we loved each other unconditionally. We never had any arguments and cherished each others friendship.  I will miss her so much, I don't think that void will ever be filled in my heart nor will she ever be forgotten.

I've known Linda most of my life. My sister Linda was married to her brother Hal. Over the years we spent many nights square dancing and playing cards and board games. While on many camping trips together the Lyons taught me how to water ski. What I will remember the most are the laughs we all had together. What I will cherish most is the good friend and sister-in-law she was to my sister. They had a friendship that none of us will forget.

Linda and I really only began a close relationship a few years ago when she somewhat retired from her long career.  She asked me if I wanted to teach her how to sew.  Linda remembered how her Mother tried to teach her and they had some frustrating moments with eachother.  I told Linda it would be ok, Moms get frustated at times with what their daugthers do or can't do.  And Linda would laugh, and bounch into any project we set to task.  She spent many an hour sewing and ironing those darn doggy collar covers of mine.  Ironing or sewing it didn't matter to Linda she injoyed it.  There were times we would just sit and talk about our families, or just about anything that we felt like talking about.  I will miss those times of laughter, crying, or just watching Finn being silly.   Her hats, gloves and what I call her afternoon teaware, I'm not so sure of ha ha.   But most all I will miss that great big beautiful smile.  To her family and other friends we have to  try and remember those precious times we shared with Linda.  With all my love Cathy Jo Cardin, sister in spirit to Linda Kay Lyons.
