I worked with Linda as a student nurse for a short two days. She made a permanent impression on me, as did her family. Everyone was so attentive to her. She had the sweetest soul and a kind heart. I pray that she found the comfort and peace that she was hoping for. My prayers and condolences go out to everyone she impacted!
