Rochelle, Tonya & Kia --

I wanted to extend my deepest and heartfelt condolence to you. Although, I don't know the pain you feel of losing your mother and grandmother, I'm sure the pain is piercing, and it probably feels like you won't heal. Healing takes time. But during this time know that Linda was an amazing person with an amazing spirit; very genuine, very sincere with a great sense of humor. She always made me laugh and was a complete joy to be around. I remember going to her house of many occassions and just feeling right at home.

Cherish her memories, cherish her smile, hold them dear to your heart and know that she loved you. She was a blessing from God, and I'm thankful to have known her.

If you ever need someone to listen, never hesitate to call me.

You guys are in my prayers!

Saved by His Grace,
Shari

Wallace and Family, I met Linda back in Phillip Schuyler days also; when we spoke or called to her we always said her "whole" name, "hey LindaStevens!" She was always fun to be with; Linda has done her time her on earth, now God has called her home where she will have peace and eternal rest. The troubles of this world are behind her now. Stay focused and renew you faith in God so that you may one day see her again.

Your Sister in Christ,

To Wallace and family: I wanted to let all of you know that you have my heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your love one. I met Linda at Philip Schuyler High School. Although, she was petite Linda presence was felt wherever she was. I want all of you to know that God yet loves you all and he is just a prayer away. It is important that you have faith in him and trust him during this difficult time. I am reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul who said …”If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved we have another building not made by hands but by God.” Linda has gone from labor to reward.” There is no more sickness, heart ache, pain, or suffering she is at rest. I will remember you all in prayer.

Sincerely

CJ
