We are so deeply sad about Linda's illness and passing and truly grateful to have known Linda. Her love for Jim and her family spoke loudly in her soft and quiet way. Her life was a gift to everyone who knew her. We all have one more angel watching over us in heaven. XOXO Ann & Scott

January 29, 2011

I would like to extend caring thoughts and prayers to Jim, Scott, and Stacy during this time of sorrow. May fond memories of your family times with Linda sustain you in the days ahead.

Unfortunately, I did not have a personal connection with Linda as so many people were fortunate to experience, but I will always remember how she greeted me with her warm smile on the few occasions we did meet. However, I do have a connection with Stacy through my son, Ian, and wife, Emily, and my heart goes out to her. Linda's beautiful smile is a legacy she left for Stacy who also has a beautiful spirit which her mother had.

Wishing you peace and love.

As an everyday participant at the Pleasant Hill"Y", I came to know Linda by her first name; her bubbly laughter; her showing genuine concern and care to all those she spoke with.
Her eyes would sparkle when she'd tell me all about her many trips and how she looked forward to them.
She did indeed, have the Aloha Spirit, and we in the water aerobics class will miss her smile and congeniality.
God Bless and comfort her Family and Fiends.

Linda Sue,
God looked around His garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

I will miss you my dear sweet
sister-in-law.

Jim, Stacy,and Scott,
My heart goes out to you at this time of loss and grief. I shall always be thankful to Linda for the kindness and genuine interest she showed in my elderly mother when Mom was a bit overwhelmed at noisy family parties. Linda always got down on Mom's level and spent time chatting with her showing a genuine interest. Linda was indeed a very caring, loving, special person who was loved dearly by many. Fond memories of Linda will live on in the hearts of her friends and family forever.
Wishing you comfort and peace in the difficult days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
