A lot has happened since you left us, Linda. Yours and your moms killer is now in prison, but that really doesn't relieve the pain every time I see your picture. The only thing that brings comfort is knowing you're in Heaven with your mom and Granny and Pappy. I will see you soon, Jesus is about to blow that trumpet for the rest of your family. Love and miss you. Your aunt Pat

I'm glad that for the family's sake, Linda was able to have a proper funeral. I know there is no real "closure." Closure is just another word for acceptance, and acceptance of such a tragedy is very hard. What I wish for the family and all who love her is that they know salvation through Jesus Christ. That way, they will be together again, eventually, and no one will ever tear them apart. I am so very sorry for the loss of this lovely young woman, and if justice is not done in this life, it surely will be in the next. God is the final judge, and there are consequences for what happened to her. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ grant you the peace that passes understanding. God bless all of you.

I did not know you Linda but you are indeed a beautiful young woman taken much too early in life. May you be with God and without pain from now on. Carol Padgett Phoenix. I too lost a young daughter, lady to a drunk driving incident, she was the driver. Now with your beloved family, mom and dad, rest in peach.
