So sorry for your loss. Linda was a great lady and is missed by all who knew her.
Rest in peace Linda.

My name is Dana Cuculici and I am the "adopted " daughter of Linda and Rocky Perkins
With a broken heart I am saying  " good bye " to Linda ..until we meet again
For over 20 years I have been blessed with a friend that became family...a witness to my journey through life ....a security blanket and confidante
Linda I will forever cherish the memories....the countless delicious dinners you cooked....our numerous travels..
Remember Paris when we drank coffee while admiring Notre Dame?
Remember when Rocky dragged us through  freezing rain to go see the Musee D'Orsey only to find it closed....and how we rolled our eyes  behind his back  ?

For these and so many other memories ..for your quiet strength and your enduring love I am grateful
If I hurt you ( and I know I inadvertently hurt you) please forgive me.. 
I know  you already did at one of our last dinners when you said 
" I love you Dana !"
The Pastor said that today you got to see OUR LORD face to face
I am sure he will say these words to you : " Well done good and faithful servant !"

Dear Amanda....they...your Mom and Dad gave me the dogwood china service that could have been yours....sorry but I will treasure it

Doctor Perkins may God be with you and give you strength

Rocky, Mary and I are deeply saddened by Linda's passing. We just wanted to offer our most sincere condolences and wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
