Linda and i that grew up as best friends I remember sitting on the porch doing hair all the time. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be there but you are always in my thoughts especially when I squeeze my nose to remove a blackhead she taught me that as teenagers and I thank her for always checking on my mom. To her family Linda was very good lady who will truly be missed.
Sincerely , .. Dana Berry Harris
