To my brothers and sisters,
We will all miss Lindy a lot. God blessed our family with her,9th in line. He knew his plan for her from the start. With Bible in her hand and over 600 verses, she did learn. With a smile and open arms he said,"Welcome home my child,well done." LOVE AND MISS YOU SIS!!

Sorry for your loss. I remember Linda in school even thought I am four years older. She is at peace now.

Linda was VERY special to me growing up. She always called me "her little light" but in reality she was the real light! She inspired me with her dedication to the Lord and it is a wonderful thing to think of her now with her beloved Lord and Savior-completely whole!! I will always remember her fondly. I have a favorite picture of her at my wedding that I will cherish until we meet again one day!

Dearest Family, I just wanted to say how sad I am of the passing of Aunt Linda, but also how excited I am that she is with the Lord. I remember when we would get together for family functions, Linda would recite/read versus from the Bible..She was a woman of God. I am looking forward to the day when I can see her without her crutches, walk across the heavens golden streets to meet me, and to know that she is with my mom and dad and grandpa and grandma and my uncles is such a blessing... I love you Aunt Linda.
Love Jeanne
