My sincerest condolences to the family. I’m praying for strength and comfort for you all. Some of my best memories are sitting on Linda’s porch drinking coffee with Donny, Linda, Barbara and Carolyn. It truly was like a live episode of The Golden Girls and I treasure every moment. All 3 of these ladies had qualities that reminded me of my own Momma.
