When you think of Linda, what comes to mind are the good Times. One of Bob's memories is how mom was so Fascinated with the trips they took, as she had never been out of the United States. One of her favorite places they went to was Alaska. Or when she would take road trips to East Texas to visit us. Her and her granddaughter Nikkie would stop for snacks and when they got on the road Mom would turn the radio up loud and they would sing their hearts out. Her granddaughter Tiffany would tell you that some of her favorite memories is the family dinners, we would share with Linda. Oh, and Dalton remembers when mom and Bob went to Colorado, and he had a class project to see whose rocket could go the highest.

While on the other hand Kaycee remembers her grandmother teaching her how to Hulu Hoop when she was a little girl. My memory is when I was little, and mom and I were playing Cowboys and Indians l asked her to tie me up while I sat on the couch, and she did.

AND... I fell off the couch and hit my head and ended up at the doctors. When he asked me what happened, all I said was my mommy tied me up. I could only Imagin the look on her face. When you need a reminder of how Linda loved you just think of some of the good times you had with her and hopefully it makes you smile.
