Linda was a lady with a heart of gold. She loved with all she had and her laugh was contagious.
From deer hunting, dollar sales, and snuggling in to watch movies the memories I have I will cherish always. Rest peacefully, sweet lady.

There is a long and winding road along which each must go... it leads beyond the hills of time in the sunset's glow. But only for a little while our loved one leaves our sight...for just beyond the hills they wait in God's eternal light. Rest in peace mom. Love, Tammy

Linda was my supervisor at GTE when I moved back from Bryan to San Angelo to work for her in the Business Office. She made this scared girl feel so welcome and at ease. She was a friend to all she meet and loved by all. Linda, I'm going to really miss you. The world lost someone special when you left us, but know that Heaven gained an angel.Rhonda Legg
