Linda was the first real female role model I had. She was smart, strong, funny, and caring. I am so sorry she is gone and will remember her always. Warm thoughts to John and her family. Kerry Moore

Linda was such a wonderful part of our church family at Hillside Church. From a mission trip in Guadalajara to monthly food distribution at our pantry, Linda blessed people. She was a tower of strength with a heart as tender as spring blossoms. We will miss her (until we join her).

It's so hard to believe. She leaves behind an incredible legacy and I have such respect for all that she accomplished here. I have such vivid memories of being chewed out when I returned Laura late to the Pepper Lane house, running into her and John at the Butter and Eggs Day Parade every year, precious memories on the farm... She was an incredible woman! Peace to her kids and grandchildren.

I can see now it wasn't just a coincidence that I ran into Linda at Kaiser during the holiday's. It was God putting me in her path to say good bye.
My Deepest sympathy to the family.

In loving memory. Linda will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. She will also live on in the beautiful memories she left behind for all of her family and friends. The Pilacelli family, Mike, Judy, Angie and Tony.

I will truly miss my neighbor and dear friend. Linda was a lovely person, always seeing the bright side of life. She was a valiant warrior this past year. I know she is in a better place, but we will miss her terribly.
