Linda S. Albaugh

I know that none of you are reading this and probably have long forgotten this page but I thank you all. I am her "infant son hunter" they mentioned. I've found this page almost 15 years after my mothers death doing some research on my mom that I know very little about. Its so heartwarming knowing all these people loved my mom so dearly. Its also in a way depressing knowing all these people know my mom in a way ill never see.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Ken,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. Please accept my condolences and best wishes for you and your family. God Bless.

To the family of Linda,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I was Linda's Supervisor at Altercare of Hartville when she started out as a nurse aide. She was so very special and caring to everyone. We did stay in contact for some time after that because of us both living in Hartville. I remember her coming to me when she finished nursing school. I was so very proud of her because of the work she put into being a single parent at that time and finishing nursing school with such enjoyment. After that we both moved away from Hartville so we did loose contact with each other. Linda and her daughter has always been in my thoughts every time I would drive through Harville. I was completly shocked when I read of her passing. Such a beautiful angel to be taken so early in life. But now she is an angel in heaven looking over all of us. My prayers go out to her entire family. Everyone who came into Linda's life will remember her as a true and special friend. My prayers go out to everyone who knew her and to her family.

Ken,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our most sincere condolences. God bless.

Ken,
my prayers are with you, your family, and Linda's family. May God bless and keep you and yours.

Dear Paulin and Albaugh Families,

I am so very sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Linda at Sterling. She always had a positive outlook, a pleasant attitude and a smile for everyone she met. She was such a good mother always putting Amber first. Amber meant the world to her and she always called her her little princess. I am sure Hunter was her little prince. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Sadly missed. wishing all God's comfort.
Dwight and Jewell Albaugh

Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Find the stregnth of Christ in each other. That's what friends are for.
