I am so sorry that I am not in Roanoke this week to pay my condolences in person. Paul, you will remember Clive and I visited you and Janet in Nashville many years ago. I was Janet's roommate at Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing, and did not know she had passed away until reading Linda's obituary. I am so sorry about Linda's passing; Janet's as well, and to know Janet is no longer with you. I remember when Linda was born; it doesn't seem long ago that we used to hang out at the airport. Please get in touch or
let me know how we can reach you. We're in the Roanoke phone book and I'll be home next weekend.

My thought and prayers go out to Linda's family.

I was fortunate enough to have known Linda for about 8 years, and anyone who knew Linda had to have known how much she loved her animals.

Linda would do without so many times to make sure that they were taken care of, she and I would talk animals stories all the time,Linda's compassionate, loving ways was just amazing.

Linda had just as many family stories to share, and she loved her family dearly and was proud of her niece and nephews.

Linda was one of the most unselfish individuals I have ever known. This world has lost a true angel, thank God I have been blessed enough to have been touch by this angel, the memories that I have will remain forever.
