Steve,Debbie,Dana,furry children,
Linda is a much loved person and touched everyone in a way only a special person such as Linda could do. Her sense of humor, her happiness,the sharp way she dressed,her love of animals,family and friends,will always be in our memories. We all miss Linda and want you to know we love her very much. Be kind to the ones she left behind because when all are united in heaven one day she will know who's been naughty and who's been nice. We love you Linda. We shall keep greyhound rescue going until it is no longer needed.

Debi, I am so so sorry for your loss and for your family's loss. I lost my father last October and know how difficult this can be, but know that she's in good hands. Please know my thoughts are with you and that I'm sending you strength. Please take care.
