Linda lived in my favorite house down the street on Longstreet Drive. She was not only good enough to take in Sami, but to put up with and feed all of Sami's friends, haha. Linda, Grandma--I haven't seen you in a long time, but I'll never forget the days down the street. Rest peacefully.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of Linda's family- she was a dear friend who will be missed by many. We worked for many years with Linda at SKF. Close contact was lost for many of us back in Pennsylvania, but there are a lot of fond memories from years of fun and friendship. Linda even joined in with our Hats, Feathers, Hearts in Harmony Red Hat group before heading out to Arizona. I know her unexpected loss is difficult on loved ones left behind, but remember she will always be watching over you, and her memory will live in your hearts forever. Our prayers are with you.

Janie & Family, I am going to miss the sweet smiling face of your Mom. She was without a doubt one of the sweetest most gentle people I have ever known and I enjoyed her company so much. But I know she will be watching over all of us and laughing with us at all the family gatherings

Linda was an email buddy to us and kept in touch over the holiday for she worked with Bob at SKF. We have a picture of her in Bob's retirement cube on our bookstand. May she rest in peace.
