I worked with Linda for many years - she was a dear friend. She was a member of my card group and we all laughed together and had a great time. We miss her so much.

I've known Linda for many years. I lived down the street when we went to grade school. We were good friends. I always looked for her bright smile at Penney's. You will be in my prayers.

Linda was in my confirmation glass at St. Peter's. She was indeed the sweetest girl. I ran into her at JC Penneys when she was working the jewelry counter. We had a conversation like we had just seen each other yesterday. She was so down to earth. I am sure she will be missed. But she is with Jesus now, and what better place to be is there?
