It was strange how often we ran into each other over the years in just random places. You always had a big smile and hug for me as we tried to catch up on each other's families in a store or parking lot. Time always seemed to melt away when we ran into each other. You will be missed.

My dear sweet friend. I sit here still in disbelief that you have left this earth to be with your maker in Heaven. Yes I know you are in Heaven because of the type of person you are. You always put others before you, especially your loving family. I was honored to meet you when we opened the Taco Bell in Waterford in 1996. I remember how when my twin grandsons were born in 97 and within 2 weeks both were air flighted to Oaklands Childrens Hospital, with RSV. At that time I had no car, no phone was raising a niece and in no way could I call and see how they were doing. One was put on life support as a last ditch effort to keep him here and was on it for about a month. Without you, giving me money to call them nightly and setting up a collection for me to be able to go and see them, I really don't know what I would have done.Your unselfish acts will never be forgotten. Yes you were my Angel here on earth as you were for so many.Yes we lost contact for awhile but then we reconnected as if no time had gone by.You sweetie will truly be missed by so many. Rod, Justin, Ashley and all her grand babies, know that she loved you with all her heart and my heart goes out to all of you. Sorry about the rambling, but I could go for days about what a wonderful person you were.Keep shining down on all that love you and give them the strength to go on Linda it is not Good-bye dear friend but until we meet again. I loved you and love you now RIP
