I have known Linda all of my life. As cousins, the four of us, Linda, Donna, Carol and I, grew up in a time that was pretty much worry free for kids. Family picnics, fishing trips, just playing outside until dark, dressing up the family pets, and hours of playing Clue. As we got older, married, and started our faimilies, we didn't see each other as often, but when we did, we had so much fun. The last fifteen years or so, we got close again, and I'm so glad we did. I miss our phone calls. Talking about everything from world events, to the funny things our grandkids said. I will miss our visits, even our 'projects' around your place. Most of all I miss the laughter and your hugs. I will watch "Wild Hogs" again and laugh out loud for both of us. I miss and love you Linda. We all do.
