Linda was generous with words of wisdom. She was never at a loss of words and always had a way of making you understand exactly what she was saying. There was never a question in her intention. She was pure in her exchanges and simplistic in her love- it was unconditional, unwavering and, at times, undeserved. She would give her opinion without flinching or apology but she never dismissed your feelings or side. There is no denying that you saw her entire life in all that she had and all that she did. Her home was filled with pictures, nick knacks and love, ALL of the things that made her Linda! Most importantly, you saw her welcome everyone into her home. She shared her table, her food, her heart and her warmth. She loved loving! You were always welcomed in her home. If you failed to learn how to treat others by watching her, you, my friend, were not watching!
She showed us the importance of enjoying the moment, creating experiences, and honoring family & friends. She taught us to laugh, love and forgive. Please continue to honor her by loving graciously, living earnestly and forgiving easily.
She was married to her sweetheart, Bobby for 53 years and they have left a lifetime of memories to cherish. She was blessed to travel the country and world as a military wife for 23 years before her husband’s retirement. Her pride and joy were her children, nieces, nephews, but most of all her grandsons. They could do no wrong in her eyes.
Her life was a living example of the Bible verse Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ”
