Also our great neice's Kayla, Charlie, and nephew Chance (Tiffany's children), nephew Ethan, neice Hanna (Liegha's children).

For those who knew my Aunt Linda they would know that she was kind hearted, funny, and I could go on and on. While we all are hurting and going through the greiving process Linda would not want us to be sad. She would want for us to celebrate her life and remember the happy times. While she is no longer with us in a physical sense; she will always be alive in our hearts and minds.
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing
times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who
grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.
I will miss you so very much Linda, and will never forget the happy times spent together. Heaven was blessed with another Angel who is watching over us. Rest In Peace you are now home. I LOVE YOU LINDA!

If I could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried and neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried.
You left behind our broken hearts and happy memories too,
You were a very special person to me you always had a smile
that would light up the whole room,
I remember when my son died you cried with me,
and you found a way to make me smile.
I remember you told me God needed my son more then I did,
well my friend I guess he needed you too....
I will miss you so much know one will every know "
Your smile, your kindness, will live in my heart for ever.
Your friend Debra from The Glass Crutch

For those who knew Linda they know she would have this to say:
To my dearest family, and Friends some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, and friends they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
Debra Roach,

I am so sorry April that you are so young and have lost your mother. This is something you should never have had to go through. Know that I love you girlie and know that I am here for you. I will give you space if that is what you want, or be your shoulder to cry on. I wish so much that I could erase this for you. My heart is so broken so you and your dad. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be in touch.I am so glad I got to hang out with your mom a few weeks ago. She was a happy person and a TON of fun. Never forget those great memories you have. I know I won't. Love you girl~ Kay and Dakota Williams

Linda and I worked together at walmart and she was one of the best people that I have ever met. When I first came over to the bakery, she helped me so much and we developed a friendship that was one of the strongest that I have ever had. We ate lunch every day together at work and we worked so well together. I will miss eating lunch with her and working side by side with her. Whoever they get to replace her in the deli will never be half the person she was. She will be sorely missed. My prayers are with her and April.
