I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I knew Linda many years ago. I was good friends with Karen and Randy. Sonia, I remember you when you were a child and you would be at your grandparents, I know you probably don't remember me but your mom was very full of life when I knew her. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Dianne Trouten

If your life is measured in the joy you give to family and friends Linda lived it to the fullest. I will always have fond memories of the times spent at Linda's where everyone was greeted with a quirky and genuinely warm smile and were guaranteed to leave with a smile on their own face and looking forward to the next gathering of family and friends. Soni, Josh, Jesse & Kylee, keep your memories close to your heart as I will too.

I will always remember Linda as such a strong women. We go back to the cool little house on Pierce. Then onto Belltowne, she always had the coolest place to live and I always admired the relationship Linda and Soni shared. I have some of my greatest memories from the old Belltowne days and Linda is such a big part of them. Even when she wasn't there we were thinking about her or when she would pull in. (Bonfires) All the parties at the pool, she always made everyone feel welcome. She new how to live and shared what she had. I will miss Linda deeply. To Soni, Josh , Jesse and that beautful little girl I met at Linda's I am so sorry for your loss. The love I seen between Kylee and Linda was heartwarming. Sincerly, your friend Randy Thomas(Belltowne Gangmember, Whitehall Mafia Associate and always a friend of the Scott family)

I will always remember Linda as such a strong women. The days going back as far as Whitehall living in the cool house on Pierce Ave. I always admired the relationship she and Soni shared. Then onto Belltowne, She always had the coolest place to live. I must admit the complex was the place to be and she always made me feel welcome. I will miss you Linda. I have the greatest memories from all the crazy times at Belltowne and you are part of them or as I mentioned when we talked most of them. Even when you weren't there(the great Bonfires) we were thinking about you.(or when you would pull in) To Soni, Josh, Jesse and the beautiful little girl I met at Linda's, who by the way was so loving towards her Grandma it was heartwarming, I am so very sorry for your loss. Sincerly, your friend Randy Thomas (Belltowne gang member, Whitehall associate, currently Portland Or. resident and always a friend of the Scott Family)
