Linda was my sister-in-law, the best a girl could ever want; but she was also a close friend. She always put others first, even when she had so much on her own plate. She had a huge heart full of kindness for others. My family is so lucky to have known her and had her in our lives. We are forever grateful for Linda!

I was fortunate to work with Linda for quite a few years. Not only was she a great coworker, but she also became a great friend. She was always willing to go above and beyond to get things done. She was patient, kind and respectful. She always had an ear willing to listen. And the beautiful things she made!!! I have Halloween and Easter wreaths that she gave me which I will always treasure. Eternal rest grant unto you Linda; may you rest in peace. My prayers to her family, especially Dean.
