My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I met Linda last spring, visiting her as her homecare nurse. She was a wonderful and sweet lady. I enjoyed spending time with her discussing life, she gave me wonderful advise. She will be deeply missed and always remembered. Now she is able to rest peacefully.

God was searching for a woman after His own heart with the voice of an angel-He chose Linda. He has taken her home as His special guest where she will have peace and eternal rest-no more pain or suffering. Her earthly work has been well done and she goes to sit beside the Son. Our Queen now has her crown in glory. Family stay focused on Christ and He will get you through this difficult time.

Your Sister in Christ,
