My aunt Linda one of a kind she was one special lady! I recall the time myself and a buddy took off to Wichita from Arkansas with a couple of companions that I won't mention. First stop was Aunt Linda's House! She asked have you had anything to eat? She cooked a meal that was awesome we hung around for a couple of days and headed back to Arkansas with food for the drive home. She was a special aunt I loved her so much. I was fortunate I got to visit with her on the phone while she was in the hospital . She will be greatly missed. May God help this family through this time of loss. I love you Linda.

My love goes out to Ken and family in this difficult time. I absolutely loved spending time with her, she had a great sense of humor and we would sit and talk, and of course give Ken a hard time. She was so hard working, and would always be so appreciative of like minded people. She was a gem and will be missed greatly. Rest in peace my friend.
