Mom, Melinda was so young when you past away. I am so proud of her. She is a senior, and first term Grades just came out. Her lowest grade is a 96. Highest honors. I wish you were here to see her, and talk to her. She gets so stressed out, much like me. She worries oh so much. Please take her under your wigs. Give her the guidance You gave to me. Help her to think through her issues with out telling her how. You were always so good at that. I LOVE YOU Mom! I miss you soooo much. XOXO Till we meet again...

Ross and Family, I am so saddened for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Linda for over 15 years between King Size and Wearguard. She was such a wonderful person, and a great employee. She would always tell me when she was doing something for her children to help out as she could. She must of been a wonderful Mother and wife. My deepest sympathies go out to you all.
