Linda Ann Joyce

Think of you often. Especially this time of year. Your memory precedes you. My children know about you. So thankful to have been blessed with you.

All of these years later, I can honestly say that Linda has impacted the way my perception of the world is. I reach back into memories when making decisions, and think, 'what would Linda do?' She was a mentor, a friend, and someone who pushed me to see potential, when I didn't. I miss her dearly. Her memory is alive and well with me. I will never forget her, and will always be thankful for the influence she gifted me with.

There is never a week, a day that I don't think of Linda. She was the most influential person in my life. Her memory is alive with me every day. I truly miss her smile and sparkling eyes. Every time I see a Jeep I think of her! She was an amazing soul; and I have no doubt she is with us now, watching over us like she always did; but pain free and at peace.

Almost her birthday. 16 years later, feels like yesterday.

Linda was a wonderful person. She was such an inspiration to so many people. No matter what her situation was, she had a positive outlook. Her ten+ year battle with cancer was so devastating, but there were days when you forgot all about the disease because she kept her hopes high and she never let it get her down. I worked with Linda for many years and she was an excellent mentor, leader, and friend. She is missed terribly at DePuy. We have lost a wonderful friend. My thoughts and prayers...

Linda was the most spiritual person I have known, as she not only lived it, but shared it with those she encountered. I will miss her friendship far more deeply than words can say, and I find peace in knowing she will be waiting to greet me when my time arrives. Love & hugs to Linda and all her family - especially those I grew to know so well in person and through Linda - Chad, Trisha, and 'mom'.

My first girlfriend, my first kiss... and my friend for life. God Bless you.

We may not be with you at this time, but know that our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, especially Auntie Marg, Tricia and Chad. We love you and you know Linda is a beautiful angel.
