I knew Linda for couple of years now. We both are PD patients. She will be greatly missed. She always had a smile on her face when she came in the waiting room. But some days you just knew she was hurting. I always prayed for her too. I knew Linda and Kenneth liked to garden a lot. She was and is a wonderful lady. Linda we all will miss you.

I loved Linda. We spent so much time out at her place when I was a kid. Playing in the barn lol she was always so sweet to me and then of course on Facebook always a kind word. We couldnt make it due to my grandpa having surgery but sure wish I could have been there to say goodbye. Im gonna miss you Linda Lee! We will see you again!
