Linda Paulette (Wheeler) Bowles

Linda, whenever I think of the pastel association, I think of you. You were one of the first to greet me into the AZ Pastel Artists' Association seven years ago and were a major part of it till the end. You did so much with your points system and your "smoozing" for awards for our shows and you were a superb president... Gosh, I miss you, your sense of humor and those smiling/wise eyes of yours....Love your friend Marsha Wright -(President of APAA)

Linda was a caring, giving,and high spirited woman. I remember when she was pregnant with Deanna. Deanna,your mother was a great inspiration to many. I will alway remember her beautiful smile and bubbling personality. My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family.

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Linda about three years ago while she and Larry visited Kansas City. She was a delightful person. I am so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
Love,
The McGregor Family

Larry, Deanna and family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to in your time of sorrow. Linda was a very special person and we will miss her very much. It was an honor to get to know her. What a person who loved life and had a deep perception of life in general.
She will be greatly missed. Her pain and suffering has finally come to an end. But the wisdom she passed on to everyone she came in touch to will live on is each of us.

My condolences to Deanna, Jeanne and Larry. Linda was a very special friend of mine for 18 years. She was always there for me; her friendship did not have any boundaries. Linda was someone that you can trust and rely on, definitely a friend for life.

She was a wonderful and dedicated mother. She gave her best to her daughter Deanna. I still remember all the books she used to check out from library and carry around for Deanna.

We all will remember her laugh. How could you...

Linda is a shining star and her beautiful spirit lives within her family and friends. Linda was always smiling and caring and leaves me with many wonderful memories. It was my honor to have known her, and I look forward to the day when we will see each other again.

Deanna, Larry and Family,
Linda was responsible for hiring me at OSHA 13 years ago and I can say without reservation that she was an inspiration to me and a wonderful person to know. I will miss her as all of you will. May god bless her and her family during this time.

It was my pleasure to know Linda since working with her at OSHA in the early 90's. We kept in touch off an on through the years. She was a wonderful spirit, loving person who loved her family and was always a joy to be around. She will be sorely missed, but it up dancing with the angels and making them laugh and wearing her crown of jewels!
