I am so going to miss Linda, seeing her dancing, singing and praising the Lord with all her heart. She has been such an inspiration. Will, children and family, I pray for the Lord's continued comfort and strength!

I had the great blessing of having been a friend with Linda since we were in elementary school at Sherwood. I am not the only one with that privilege because she was a friend to everyone. She was always kind and thoughtful.
Will, she told me many times of how the love between the two of you grew and how you two were the best friends.
Linda prayed for and loved all of her family with an unconditional love. She will be greatly missed.
My prayer is that you allow the Lord to fill the empty space in your hearts and that you sense His love, grace and mercy in a great and mighty way. I am very sorry for the great loss. Love in Christ, Patty Sides

Linda was without a doubt one of the 'smartest' people in our 1973 Class of CHS but more importantly was one of the kindest. She was a genuinely sweet soul who saw the best in everyone. I know that she will be greatly missed by you Will and all her family. Know that you are loved and prayed for. So thankful that Linda had a personal relationship with Jesus that has sustained her through the difficult times in her life. Now her faith is sight and she is more alive now than ever before. She would encourage each of us to draw near to the Lord and to 'press on'. She is part of the 'Cloud of Witnesses' spoken of in Hebrews 12:1 that is cheering for us to finish the race that is before us. I also look forward to seeing her again.

I didn't know Linda as well as many, but talked with her at Lakewood Baptist Church a few times. She was an inspiration to me when I was going through chemo. I was encouraged by her optimistic attitude. I will always remember her as being a wonderful person, loving her family, and loving her Lord. My deepest condolences to this family that she loved so dearly.
