I was so blessed to have had Linda in my life. She will always be an eternal friend to me and I will rejoice when I can wrap my arms around her again and give her a big hug. She was such a beautiful example to me and to so many others. She always set her standards high no matter what she was involved in. I always loved working with Linda. We became the best of friends working in the temple together for many years, and those wonderful memories are so precious to me. I loved her excitement for life and love for travel. It was so fun having her sell travel through my agency for a few years. I was always so exited to hear about the trips she had planned so meticulously. I will miss her so much, but so grateful to have had her in my life. Her close friendship was a blessing to me. Lovingly, Jan Greene

I was so sad to hear about Linda's passing! This world has lost a true angel. I was in the Anthem Ward when she was the Relief Society President -- I always felt loved and cared for. Every activity was classy -- I felt like everything was how Heavenly Mother would have done it. The Jacobsons are the most Christ like people we know. We are so sorry for your loss!

We were saddened to hear of Linda's passing. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother who was always a good example to us. Both she and Max were an inspiration and example of all that is good in this life. She will be missed. We always enjoyed serving with her in Ward, Stake and Temple assignments. Her beautiful smile was always a source of joy to those of us who knew her. May God's peace and comfort bless you Max and your family at this time. We are sorry we cannot be there for her service. We love you.

My Aunt is the most beautiful, elegant lady. I remember as a child thinking she was Snow White. She always had red polish on her nails and toes and is the best cook. I have several of her recipes that are "Linda classics". I admire and love her so much and will miss her greatly. I love you Max and Jan!

We were very sad to here of this news, Linda was the kindest, happiest not to forget the classiest women we knew. Yes she will be missed everyday, and every week at church. But through our faith and knowledge we know there is a great work she's doing as we speak. And she is more then excited to be doing it. Her love and laughter will go on in each person she has touched and especially her family. Our prayers are with you for comfort at this time of sadness. We love You, Max, Jan and grandkids.
