Our love goes to Linda's entire family at this time. I have always felt that it is a honor to be a cousin to the original Gauldin Girls. Linda and her sisters have been true examples of God's Love...caring, loving, supportive, and full of life, just to name a few. Linda's spirit lives on in all of us.
Love, Deb Stone Schmidt and Family

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Revelation21:4

An early memory as a child was going to Pine Lake off Summit St. The Cleveland Browns used to have summer practices at Kent State and were often at Pine Lake playing volleyball, my mom would see them and head over to that side of the lake. I just remember these big men(I was younger than 8 years old), calling out Linda, and when teams were picked, she was often times picked in the earliest rounds. I oftentimes wondered growing up if NCAA and women's sports were as prevalent in her younger years as they are now, what would she have been? ILYMTYLM. Chris Diestel
