What a lovely woman. My mother was her babysitter. She loved Linda so that she had her as a flower girl in her wedding. I remember her as always smiling and very willing to chat when I would see her. I got to know her daughters too who were the sweetest little girls. The family has my deepest sympathy. I pray all of the happy memories and the prayers of family and friends will be the family's comfort. May God bless you all.
