To the Ruffner Family;
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too worked with Linda at Briggs H.S. I can truly say that she is the kindest person I had ever met in my life. She was such a sweet, caring person and she always looked for the good in all she met. I will miss her dearly. She knew all of the best places to eat on the westside, alot of times we would have pie from the Derr Dutchman instead of a regular lunch! I guess she thought you should always eat your dessert first! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Ruffner Family –
Though I never had the privilege to meet Linda I have had the honor of knowing and building a friendship with Natalie. If Natalie is any reflection of Linda, I know what an extraordinary, intelligent and beautiful person Linda was. When I learned of Linda’s decline in health I immediately put the entire family in my thoughts and today you remain in my thoughts through this difficult time. Stay strong and lean towards each other during this time.
