Words cannot discernible how I feel about the loss of this great woman. I've been close friends with the family since I was in second grade and Ms. Torres always treated me as if I was one of her own.

Linda has always been a sweet and wonderful person to me. She's been a wonderful grandma to my two girls, Paige and Brooke. There's no word to describe how much she will be missed.

She was an exceptional light for the Lord wherever she went. Her faith in the Lord and dedication to the truth were the guiding lights for many. We miss her and will never forget you tia Linda.

I am very thankful to have met this strong and wonderful woman. A second mom to my daughter :-). I am glad she is no longer in pain but that will never stop us from missing her. And I will miss making her own special treats that she could enjoy guilt free. You will be forever in my heart and we are all here for your awesome family. Hugs and prayers from San Antonio

I had the honor of meeting her by being best friends with her youngest son, Daniel. I grew to love her and her family like a second family. I'm sadden she is gone, but I know God welcomed her with arms wide open & I know she is no longer in pain. I will always remember going over to her house (here in San Antonio) on the holidays and she always offered me plates of food. I will always remember her laugh, her sweet kindness, the love she had for everyone she met, and her strong love for God. Rest in Peace Linda and I will see you again one day.
