I had the pleasure of working with Linda at Berkeley Pharmacy for a short while. She always spoke highly of her sons. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lynda always made me smile in high school. She was always kind and a good listener.

It seems too soon...but God called her home to be with Him...Her life was as she choose it...Raising her children, being a loving sister, being who she was in every good aspect possible. She will be missed by many...May God's peace be with you all at this time of sorrow...Its ok to cry...Jesus did when He lost his friend...
