Although we did not speak every day or see each other as often as I would have liked, I miss my firend so much. Last night I was cleaning some of my Disney figurines....Thought of something and in a very, very brief second, said to myself, "I will call Linda and ask her". Wow..really hit me she is gone. I know that will not be the last moment like that for me. She made me laugh and I will always be in awe of her talents! Love, Susan

I am an online customer and I recently lost my mother to breast cancer. Through my journey of becoming a motherless child, I have come to know that although my mother is not physically with me, her spirit remains. When i feel sad, i remember all the happy times she created for our family. When I feel overwhelmed, I remember how strong she was, even when facing imminent death. My prayer is that your own mother's faith, love and strength will always be a source of comfort and guidance for...

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend, Linda. She always had a smile and positive words whenever I visited her home or store. Many quilters knew and loved her for her creativity and helpfulness whenever in her store. She loved the Lord and looked forward to His coming. Now she has met Him and is out of the sadness and sickness of this world. I look forward to seeing her again someday in the heavens.

Marv and Elizabeth, We were so sorry to read of the loss of Linda. We had no idea you lived in the Minneapolis area, as do we. It has been such a long time since the Little Rock days! Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you at this time. Jan and Tim Frederick, from the 61st.

Liz,
I know you won't know me by name, but probably by face. I've been in your store many times and always appreciated you and Linda's enthusiasm for quilting.
I loved her energy and positive attitude. Liz, you have done a wonderful job of keeping us updated via the weekly newsletter. I didn't know her well, but I'll miss her. Keep your best memories of her in your heart!
