Lovely Linda, we do not grieve beside your vacant chair as those who have no hope. You are not lost to us we know where you are! You are with JESUS! Your faith is now sight. New body, no pain, no tears! WOW!! Walking on golden streets. Wall street would die for that but can not buy what Jesus's blood bought for you with His own precious blood. (JOHN 3:16)
You are in GOD's forever family up there with my beloved John. You were born again in John's swing May 2013. Can't wait to swing with you and John up there again but I must finish the will HE has for me down here.

A bright light has gone out of my life.  I will cherish our beautiful friendship of over forty years with the reflections of laughter, tears and joy.  Linda was goodness and light and our sisterhood bond will remain in-tact in my heart forever.

Linda will always be my sparkling, loving , adorable, glamorous,beautiful,  wonderfully adventuresome cousin!I will  miss her so! Hope she is lighting Joe's path and ours with her vibrant love for life and loving memorable spirit!

Linda possessed a generosity of spirit that welcomed everyone she met into her life and made them feel special.  Because her friendships were truly of the heart, every encounter with her, no matter how brief, carried with it a sense of significance and connection.  The love and attention she lavished on her family was an example to us all, and Joe was at its center.  God took home a dear and special soul, and she is greatly missed.    
With love, Rosie and Milt Overmire

I only had the privilege of meeting Linda once, but I'll never forget her.  She found a vintage dresser for her Munds Park home, and Lori & Dan Gleason and I helped her move it in. Her taste was absolutely exquisite and she was a wonderful and charming hostess. Linda was also a kindred spirit, and I look forward to seeing her again in Heaven.  
1 Corinthians 2:9

We are so pleased to have met Linda and Joe, through my sister and brother-in-law, Lori and Dan, through their being neighbors at Munds Park.  We had pleasant conversations whenever we would visit there.  We will miss her sweet smiling face and pleasant personality.  Until we meet again in Heaven!    2 Corinthians 5:17.
Richard & Sylvia Alvarez

We are so grateful to have had Linda as our friend and neighbor at Munds Park. Her infectious laughter always brought a smile to our faces. Her memory will never fade from our hearts. More importantly is the joy we have knowing that Linda received the "gift" of eternal life, Jesus, as her Lord and Savior and we will see her again in Heaven. Romans 6:23. Love, Dan & Lori Gleason

Linda was such a bubbly person. Always a smile on her face when greeting you.  A woman who exuded class, and a woman who will be missed by many, many people. Rest in Peace Sweet Linda

Especially toward the end of her life Linda ministered to so many people  meeting them 'where they were'  fitting them in, in the ever smaller spaces of her life.  She was a friend to all but not just an ordinary friend, she truly listened to each and everyone of us and heard the things we did not have to say.

I know that Linda is in Heaven with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because I was witness to that special time in Munds Park on the afternoon of May 26, 2013 when a friend asked Linda if she knew that God loved her very much and sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for her sins, and asked her if she wanted to accept The Lord as her Savior and begin a New Life In Christ  and Linda looked at me and said Do you think I should do this?  And I said,ABSOLUTELY! - and so Linda accepted the Lord as her Savior, Redeemer and King (see John 3:16)

Linda, you touched so many lives with your presence, beautiful smile and beautiful blue eyes.  If it be known we are all still crying.

My Aunt Linda was the sweetest loving caring Aunt.  Whenever I visited her and uncle Joe it was like I just saw them. They always spoiled me.  She was classy, crafty and a beauty!  Luv ya Aunt Linda

Linda was a classy woman with a beautiful smile! She will be greatly missed by ALL who knew her. Fond memories of Linda are both a treasure and a comfort.

Linda had a gift of being a friend to many and I am very grateful that she was such a wonderful friend to my wife.  Linda was very much loved and will be missed by all her friends and neighbors.

It was an honor to know Linda.  She was one of the most sincere, endearing women I've ever known.  A smile for everyone - she genuinely cared about everyone.  She loved her Joey.  Such good memories of our Easter Bunny ears.  And NO one could carry off a Halloween costume like Linda - regal and classy always.  You will be missed by many.  Such a great neighbor.  Love to Joe & all your wonderful family.

I will so miss that face of yours ~ you beautiful girl ~ Special beyond words, We all love you, Cousin Deb and family

Linda was a wonderful person, friend and neighbor.  Over the years we shared so many good times.  She always had a ready smile for everyone, even in her most trying times.  She is a person that will be truly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to know her.  She will be one of the classiest angels in heaven.  All our love to Joe and the family.

My cousin was a very special person and I will miss her more than words can say. We had such great girl times together.  Stay well Mr. Pender  LOVE-----Wendy

Linda was a very special lady, she was friendly to everyone and always had a smile on her face. I met Linda at Zumba in Munds Park where she came over and befriended me. We had some wonderful talks and I always looked forward to seeing her in the summer. We enjoyed the time we took our Ranger and Rhino down Schnebly Hill into Sedona for lunch. No matter what she did, she made an impact on people. I will miss her. Joe, you were a great husband to Linda and were wonderful to her.
