Sammy and Linda were members of our Joppa Church and good friends. It is our hope and prayers that Sammy and family can rejoice in knowing that Linda is with Jesus and she is free of pain and filled with joy. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sammy and the family.

So sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I met her while attending church at Joppa. She became a friend almost instantly. Both Linda and Sammy were friends with Isaac Davis, my boyfriend. When I would come from Colorado, sometimes we would get together to work on sewing projects. May you find peace and comfort in reading these posts about Linda, Sammy. We know she is with our Savior and that brings comfort.
