God has added another beautiful rose to his garden. Linda was one of the most charming people I met when I started at PM and I know she will be greatly missed by all. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Family,
Linda will be greatly missed by so many people, not just her family. She was a sweet and lovely person. We used to make lightning bug rings as we played in the yard while our folks visited. We spent many an evening together. I loved her so.My prayers are with you all. She will be missed by so many, but the angels in Heaven are singing a mighty chorus. She is watching over all of us now.
Love, Patricia Norton

Dear Dunning Family,
Linda's joy and laughter will be missed. She and I bonded many years ago and whenever we would see one another we always hugged, laughed and talked about our daughters. I will miss her laughter, her kindness and her smile. She loved her family so much. I thank you for Linda and will treasure her memory. May God grant you strength during this difficult time and may it comfort you to know that she was loved by so many and we all share in your loss.

Dear Dunning Family,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Linda’s passing. During this trying time your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. It will never go unnoticed the strength and compassion Linda exhibited during her course of illness. Even in her darkest hour she was thankful of the gifts in her life, which stands as a testament of a selfless person. Although easily forgotten one must embrace the idea that death is only a means of bringing His children home. May God be with your family during this difficult journey.

Dear Fred, Meredith, Allison, Shirley, L.W., and Edith,
The last time I saw Linda was just by chance. She and one of the girls had stopped by the Jefferson Hotel at Christmas to see the decorations. She was smiling, looked great, and was happy to be with family. I will remember her that way. But I will also remember her at a much younger age.I spent the night at Aunt Edith's. Linda and I made a tent in the front yard using blankets and turned over lawn chairs....and she taught me how to make "marigold soup." Linda was a kind and lovely person, even then.
