Every holiday had some sort of baked goods, especially Christmas, which was always accompanied by many Christmas cookies and candies. Her children enjoyed homemade cakes ((with love)) for every birthday.
Linda was so proud of her family, her husband, kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. She would do anything for her family as well, even sacrificing her own well-being. When both her mother and sister were unwell prior to their passing, Linda stayed with them for 4 years to make sure that they both received the care and comfort that they deserved.
