Mom I miss you so very much sometimes my heart just feels so empty. I miss our talks and disagreements. Angel is so grown up now and just beautiful. I wish you could see her. Sometimes I find myself talking to or just crying out loud I have pictures of you all around my house but some how it's not the same. You are always in my heart and always on my mind I love forever

My name is Anne, I am and always will be my Linda's mother, not even her death could ever change that. I am going to try and tell you some of her life and then the illness that she had.
She was a warm ,chubby baby with blond hair the day she was born. So darn cute. She was born just a few days before Christmas. She has one sister , Debbie. Things were not too good for her father and I the year she was born, we had so little money. All we could afford for our girls was one little pair of shoes for Linda and one small doll for our Debbie. As she grew through the years, she was in every way a normal child but very shy. One day we all went to the beach with some friends and of course Linda somehow got away from us. Everyone started trying to find her, it was her father that found her and she was really angry at him for bringing her back to the rest of us. I looked up to see her just beating on her dad she was so angry.In later years she would say she was embarrassed that everyone was looking at her. The years went by and Linda met her Scott.
Scott was and is a good and kind man. There is nothing he would not try to do for any one, family or a perfect stranger. He loves to talk . They were married and stayed around here in California with us for a while. They had a baby boy who they named Timothy. He was such a bright boy. Linda and I took him every where we went. They along came their Cheryl. Now in her grandpa's eyes she could do no wrong and she spent a lot of time with us.
Then both Scott and Linda left us and moved to Florida, what a sad day that was for us. They were there for a little while and then moved to South Carolina. In a couple of years they bought and built a home. We were so very proud of them. Scott once again opened up his own business in a building in their back yard. Things were going pretty good for them. I spent many a summer and a few Christmas holidays with them. Some of the trips they took me on , I would never have seen and done without them. I always left them knowing they would be alright and that they would always be there for me. Time after time I was asked to come live with them, but I always said no. I just needed to know they were there and I could be content to live out here by myself.
Then on March 30,2008, my Scott called ,something is wrong with Linda, she cannot walk a straight line and will not go to the doctor, he asked me to call her and find out what was going on. I called her and convinced her she needed to go to a doctor right now. Finally Scott got her into the care and they went to the emergency room. They found out soon enough that Linda had breast cancer that had spread to her brain, tumors in the brain was the reason she could not see to walk right, but her breast cancer was so bad, it had eaten a hole under her left arm. They were told that even with treatment she would only have three to six months to live. Linda refused to believe it and sent the doctor out of the room. Scott called me and told me the truth and it the same time told me Linda was believing in what she said was a miraculous healing from God. So we believed with her. I left for South Carolina as fast as I could. I cried and cried for such a long time.
Linda had started the radiation treatments and was still her happy self. I only saw her cry three times, once the night I first got there, this was the only time I saw her show fear, once from the treatments and once when we were mistakenly told that she would not make it though the night and she got angry at all of us and told us she was still believing in miraculous healing. So once again we all believed with her. I stayed for some time with them, and she started getting a little better. I was home for a few days, Then came the phone call from Scott, no more treatment. I went back to be with them. She was still trying so hard to keep things normal. She had such faith and courage. Day after day she grew weaker. Such courage,such faith,such will power,these things she had and they helped her so very much. I know of no other person who could have fought and believed as she did in this situation. One night she want to sleep and just did not wake up. I remember Scott holding her and I cried out her name,but she did not move,she just left to be with God.
And now she is gone and we miss her so much, we all feel lost without her. We miss her smile,her quiet laughter and her guidance. She was the very heart and sole of her family .And we will never forget her,we will try to honor her and keep her with us forever.

Dearest Annie, Just wanted to say how much I miss you. Was just remembering Linda when she lived with me in Etna and we put her on Donnies horse. It was so funny. Donnie put her butt on the horse and it took off running. Her butt hit the dirt so fast and she just sat there. I think we were all just so shocked. Then she jumped up off the dirt and hit Donnie so hard. She had this look of such shock. Like how did this happen. Gee it was so funny to remember that. Well my Annie I just wanted to share that with all of you. I love her so so much. You are always in my heart my Annie. Your Loving Sister Marie

My loving brother Scott, it goes without saying that this is the most difficult road you have ever traveled. I want you to know that your life with Linda is a treasure to me. Both of you did the best you could and managed to have a life together that many people only dream about...me included. I say that with a sincere heart, full of admiration. I am so very grateful Linda was in my life. Because you chose each other my life was only that much better and the world a bit sweeter. You know I am here for you no matter what - I love you,

My dear Linda, words can never express how much I miss you - our little daily email banter or our phone conversations, your quiet dignity and sweet smile, your patience, kindness and great sense of humor are just a few of your special qualities. You always made me feel like I mattered. I will always admire and love you. The Lord didn't lie when He promised us that we would see each other again...and I am counting on it.
Love and kisses,
Brenda

fit--I loved laughing with her , and our great boating experences we had together-
God has her now, and she is in no
more pain,now she sits up there
an "Smiles" down at us, and has all
the MeatBalls she can eat, ---
If there is anything we can do--

Gods sends angles to spend time with us.
We are blessed, but never do we realize how much until they are gone.
They have a light that draws us, an inner spirit that makes us want to do better.
A smile that lights up the world and strength that lets us know that anything can be accomplished.
They have an over whelming peace and calm that comes from their belief that God has a plan for us all.
They do not question or bemoan there faith they bask in the glory of Gods love.
With love Bev

Our hearts ache with you at this loss. Linda was a strong woman of God with great faith. We will always remember her that way! I recall her in some of our earliest prayer meetings here at the beach, praying for the lost and the church. She is a dear warrior and has found her final rest. We love you so, thank you for the time we had with her, long ago and as well as recently. Our prayers will be continual for you all.
In His Amazing grace;
