Linda was a treasured friend who I miss. We often spent an afternoon enjoying Chinese food and shopping. I will always think of her strength in overcoming a disability, her wit, and above all, her loving heart. Rest well , dear friend.

I am sorry for your great loss. I hope that the promise found in Hosea 13:14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
