Alan,
I wish you all the best and I'm very sorry for your loss. If you need anything you know that I will always be there for you. Just remember that your Mother is in a better place and isn't hurting anymore. I know that she is looking down on you and is very proud of the man that you have become.

Alan, I am very sorry to hear about your mother. She was an amazing women and always found a way to somehow make me laugh and smile at work even if I as having a bad day. She was one of the most kind hearted people i have ever met. I was very lucky to have alot of good conversations with her at our company outings or even on rainy days when not much was going on id go sit in her office and chat. One thing that always came up in our coversations was you and how proud of you she was. Your mother talked very highly of you and the great things you were doing with yourself in life. Work is not going to be the same without that smiling face of hers around to brighten our days. Once again I am sorry and if theres anything you need or anything I can do dont hesitate ask.

Time is not what you think. Dying; Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning.-


Judy; I thank God for the opportunity to have met a woman of your grace. Your strength, wisdom and outlook on life amaze me. Thank you for being part of my life as of recent days and for many days ahead.

Alan; You are an amazing young man and you have time & time again given me reason to smile. You make me so proud, I can only imagine how honored Linda was to claim you as her own. You will continue to shine; now you are lucky enough to have your own angel smiling down. I love you.

And for all who were lucky enough to have been touched by Linda; When you remember her, it means that you have carried something of who she is with you, that she has left some mark of who she is on who you are. It means that even after she is gone, you can still see her face and hear her voice and speak to her in your heart. For as long as you remember her, she is never entirely lost.

Peace be with you Linda, I thank you for bringing me one of the best gifts I could have ever asked for, I promise I'll take care of him the best I can.
