I will always remember the 12 years of school we attended to gather. having fun as schoolmates do. I also remember the old creaky stairs at old BHS.As typing/bookkeeping students we had to go to the attic where the printing machine was it was a good place to waste time printing for the teachers Linda (Bush) Goltz Havana,ND

Sherry, Karla, Chris and families. Your Mom was very special to me. She was the epitome of a loving mother and everything she did was with her family in mind. I loved our visits and the laughs we shared. The world is a better place because of her kindness. I can't make it to the service but want you to know I am thinking of you at this sad time. My condolences to you all.

Linda was one of the most giving, caring people I ever had the privilege of meeting. She had the heart and soul of an angel she would always be there for you when you needed someone. I feel that I am a better person for knowing her. Ma you are our angel we love you and miss you. You are where you deserve to be now rest angel and trust that we all will take the knowledge you gave us and be better people. Love ya Ma. Until we meet again you will be in my thoughts daily. XOXO

Within 5 minutes of meeting her I knew what an awesome person she was. I regret that we were unable to become closer friends but will never forget my friend Linda. May she rest on peace.

We have many memories of Linda spending time on the farm with us and the pictures of her in the garden and doing the hard labor my Dad assigned...pulling weeds, hauling rocks that bring many laughs and smiles. I have nothing but happy memories of visits with Linda and my cousins...sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace and comfort.

She was not just my mom, she was my best friend. There are no words that can explain the love I have for my mother. She always looked out for us kids and would be at our side on a drop of a hat. She has taught us kids to enjoy life because it is to short. Mom always found the good in people and never looked down on anyone. I will miss you dearly, but I know in my heart we will be together again playing Bingo and laughing. I love and miss you like crazy mom. God Bless you

Linda was a caring and loving lady. She was always concerned about everyone else before herself. Her family was the most important thing in her life. She had a smile that would warmed the whole room. She will be greatly missed. I loved her as a friend and a mother in law.
