My Aunt Linda was one of the finest, most beautiful, vivacious, and fun-loving people to have ever walked this earth, and she will be missed. It is agreed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her that she had a forgiving, caring and accepting heart. I distinctly remember her love and support. We nieces and nephews knew without a doubt just how special we were to her. My fondest memories are of our family gatherings at Christmas and summer vacations where I couldn't stop laughing at her bubbly sense of humor and personality...always so much fun. My husband remembers her for her love of the Cript Keeper from the Tales from the Cript series and how envious she was that we saw the Cript Keeper during a Halloween Horror Nights party at a theme park. It's this love for that chilling entertainment that they shared and something he will always admire as he thinks of her. Aunt Linda, you will always be in our hearts. To my fabulous cousins and their families, please know that we are thinking of you as we too mourn the loss of an exceptional human being. We're here for you.

Much love to you all, Jill, Dave and Devin

Mom,
Words can't express the emptiness I feel since you've been gone, I love you with all my heart...you were the most loving, caring, kind, and giving person I've ever known and there won't be a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I hope your at peace now, and know that I will carry you with me every day for the rest of my life!
-Your loving daughter-

Dear Shelly, Rhonda, Bubby and Robbie, there are no words to say how sorry I am at the death of your mom. So many times in the past years I've thought of you all with dear memories of the past. I saw her once at Wal Mart and we made plans to spend an evening together. Now you have no idea the sadness I feel that this never happened. I count your mom as 1 of 3 dearest friends in my life. I remember being at your house and sharing evenings with all of you. How I wish I could bring back some of those times. Although the years have separated us, my thoughts are with you at this time, I will always remember you and feel the regret of letting time slip away without telling your mother how much she meant to me.

I am sorry for loss my thought and prayer are with you all. Your mother was the only one that could ever cut my hair right. Even when she no longer did that we would see each other and she would stop and take time to chat with me. God bless you all.

My Dearest Gram,
There is no need for me to explain how much I loved you, I know you already know. You and I have always been so close and shared such a special bond, and I am so thankful to have had you in my life. You were the best gram a girl could ask for. "She's really cool, not like your normal grandmother," is what I would always tell people. I will carry you with me always, you are at peace now and that in turn gives me peace.
I Love You.

Dear Shelly, Rhonda, Bubby, and Robbie

Its been so many years since we as families would spend time together. I remember your mom as the lady that loved animals, always having a house full of cats and dogs. Those are only kids memories of a woman that was more than a friend to my family. Time and distance drew us apart, but the memories of your mom and all the wonderful times we shared together as families remain with more fondness than you will ever know. i am truely sorry for your loss, your mom was a wonderful woman. My love to all of you.
