Dear Tommy and family, all of you have been in our thoughts and prayers since we heard of Linda illness. We thought for sure she had licked it. She was such a loving, caring, thoughtful person. My mom truely loved her also as all of us did. There was not one person who knew her that did not love her and feel so peaceful in her company. She always made everyone feel very special when they talked to her. I wish I could take some of your pain at this very sad time for all of you. Truely she...
