To the Family of Linda Koker-Beavers

I grew up on the same street of Linda and we were best friends all through school from 1st grade through High School. I am so sorry for your loss and words cannot adequately express my sympathy.

I only heard of Linda's death last evening and because of prior commitments, was unable to attend the funeral, but please accept my deepest condolences.

I will be praying for all of you and believe me, God hears our cries.

"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed way".

Revelation 21:4

I am so sorry to hear of Diana's loss. I grew up living behind her and Linda and have MANY great memories of the times I spent with them. Diana, your mom was an awesome woman and I am glad I had the opportunity to grow up with you and to spend time with your mom. I found out today of your mom's passing and wish I could make it to the funeral services tomorrow, but I won't be able to leave work to attend. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
