Not sure what to say?

We were cousins who never met. Linda's Father Julian was my Mother, Mabelle's first cousin. Julian's mother Edna Baird was my grandmother Irene's sister. I'd like to connect with any of her family who might be interested.

It took me a while to think of what to say. What can one really say when a light has gone out? I had the privelidge to know Linda only a few months, but in that time I found a friend who was truly an example of what I think God intends us to be: kind, generous, humorous, thoughtful, bright and a joy to be around.

I will mention only a few things that I will remember: Linda working harder than any young hand she and Chip hired to help, "Lorax socks," "Badger hammer lady," and the...

Chip - "Uncle Chip" ~ We are blessed to be called your friends. Linda was a remarkable lady and we're so thankful to have been a part of her life. May our gracious Lord hold you close in the days ahead. Take care. Love you, Jackie Don, Regina and Keri

So sorry for your lost

She loved our veterans and took great care of them. The VA is crying this date.

I only got a chance to know of her through wokring with her at times at the VA of Bonham. She was a lovey soul and very nice person.

I worked with Linda at the VA. She was always very positive and lovely to be around! Sorry for your loss! She will be missed!!!

Linda was a good person and nurse.We will be greatly missed. It was so glad I got to see her Sunday. God Bless you Linda.

Linda will be very missed. May God bless you and your family in your time of loss.
Love,
Scott & Dianna Wild
