Dear Aunt Annie and all of Linda's family,

I remember all the times as a young girl coming and spending time with all the Dowell kids, and as we grew older at our annual family reunions! I am so sorry about your loss but relieved that she is no longer suffering and is now whole and healthy in a better place where she'll be waiting for us one day!

My hugs and love to you all.

I just received an email yesterday with the news that Linda had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Linda from high school and the reunions over the years. As I think back, it was in the later years that I really appreciated her spirit. I pray that you and your family will find peace and know that so many share in the pain of your loss.
