She was a wonderful woman! Her smile lit up the room! I remember her from when I was a child. She was friends with my mother Idener Walker! My condolences to the family. She will never be forgotten!

The one thing that sticks out in my mind about Ms. Linda ,is you never had to guess what she was thinking, she would let you know. If Ms. Linda liked you, she would welcomed you with open arms. Last year it was laying on my heart to start visiting Ms. Linda again. Sometimes Kristine came with me and Sometimes I went alone. We would sit at the table for hours talking while she played her favorite blues station in the background. Ms. Linda loved her computer games. I remember this one day in particular I went over Ms Linda's house, and i asked her what she was doing before i got there? She told me she was playing a game on the computer. We turned that game into competition; Ms. Linda won hands down. I will always remember our last year together
