Linda, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I have heard you speak of your mother enough to know that she was a kind woman who loved her family above everything else. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time and always. Please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything that I can do for you.

Dearest Linda And Family: There are no words to express how much your Mother meant to us. She was always there at any time day or night, to help her family or anyone else that called on her. Linda, when we were growing up, your home was my home at a time when I didn't have one. Even though we made our share of mistakes, your Mother was more loving and forgiving than we deserved. That is what I will always remember, how she never stopped loving us. This world will be so empty without her in it! You are in our thoughts and our prayers. Love,
