Linda DeRatt Thrower

Another Thanksgiving..... All the memories... Oh, how I miss you! You encouragement, your love, the inspiration you were to so many, and those phone calls every night... The past several years have been crazy....one fall..a total hip replacement .....another fall 8 months later ( the day before Thanksgiving) no breaks...( later found concussion...7 fractures in my back....I'm still dealing with that.. I have been texting Kim ....couldn't believe it when she told me Bruce was in Heaven with you.....we are not sure who is keeping who straight. Love you....miss you always!!!! Margaret

You are missed.

You will forever be missed. I hope you and Karen are sharing a good laugh.

Am glad we made good memories together, Linda Ruth., as that is the glu that I need to keep me together. Nudge me every now & then, so I can know you're there. More than miss you... Becky

It's Thanksgiving time again. A time for family to be together and share the blessings from God and, A time to Remember those we lost and Miss so dearly. It's always bitter sweet, but we know , we have a Hope. Our time and Gods timing is not the same but we know His timing is Perfect. He promised that this time of separation is only for a season. As we celebrate our blessings, let us always remember the time God allowed us to have together. Let us hold on to the memories that inspire us, encourage us, and assure us that there is a day coming soon that we will all be together again. Until that day , know that you are loved and missed. Your baby sister, Margaret

I hope you and Karen are enjoying laughing together. You are missed!

Still miss you! Enjoy your time with Karen in heaven.

It's me again. I sure do miss you! My crazy husband fell while fishing and broke 3 places in his ankle.( Here we go again...today is 68 days ...this time, he has the couch & I have the chair) we know we have another 3 weeks.....hoping then that he can start putting weight on it.( When he does it, he always does a great job) I know that you were standing close to welcome Mr Elmer, Jeannie, and "T" and many others. I try to keep in touch with Matt, sometimes he answers, other times not. I know he has spent some time with Harry & Kristin. They do a lot of videos of the kids at play areas. Summer can swim like a fish, Merritt is so handsome, and Ragen Ruth looks like you.(She was so cute walking the beam). You can't imagine how much Matt has grown. He is so tall and just turned 12. It is a Crazy world these days. I'm hoping we will all be together soon..I think of you so much & Miss you more than words can say. Love you! Margaret & Wayne

We miss Linda a lot. She was a loving, caring friend and that is what we will always remember. Karen & Kathie

3 years.....it's hard to believe. I have a message you left on my phone so that I can hear your sweet voice. The holIdays will never be the same. I remember how much you loved Christmas. It was such a special time for you, especially with Matthew. I was looking at some pictures of Matt, he has grown so much. Harry, Kristin, Summer, Merrit, and Ragen Ruth have also grown alot. They are still active in Matt's life. You would be so proud of all of them. I'm not sure how long it takes for people to make their round when they get to heaven, but you will soon be seeing Jeannie if she has not made it to you yet. I know you will have a lot to talk about. I know that y'all are having the time of your life, but for us who remain here, life will never be the same. You are missed, loved, and always in our hearts. LOVE YOU! Margaret

I can't believe you have been gone for 2 years & 9mos..in one of the Crabb family songs it talks about life never being the same without you here.....we all miss you......but we know Heaven is sweeter with you there. Even if it was possible to pray you back....I could never do that......I know that you are having the time of your life....looking forward to that grand homecoming when we can all be together again.......I SURE MISS YOU !

Oh what a time you must be having. Mr. Elmer joined you several months ago. I hope he still remembered "Linda" on my mind. I wonder with each passing day..How much longer before we are all together again. This old world is getting more crazy everyday. "My Home" I got the soundtrack and always sing it in your memory & honor. You will always be my hero. You made such an impact on so many people. I know that you are having a wonderful time, and you have no limitations, no pain, no worries. I don't think it will be long before we are all together again. Until then, know that you are loved and missed.

Oh, Linda I miss you so much, what I would give to be able to talk to you. To hear your voice and get some big sister advice and thoughts on things. J wonder what time is like in Heaven, i know it has to be wonderful, seeing the ones you've longed to see so long. But I sure miss you, life here will never be the same. But heaven's sweeter with you there. I love you so much. Missing you is hard, but know you are fine, and you are where you want to be. Always in our heart, Nell and Mike

Just want to remind you that we love you and miss you more with each passing day. Oh how I miss our sister talks. In every conversation with Nell, we always talk about how much we miss you. (Matt's doesn't like to talk on the phone but he is good at texting). He is growing up so much. You would be so proud of Harry ,Kristin and those beautiful grandbabies..Summer & Merritt have grown so much. Regan Ruth just turned 1 and she is beautiful just like her grandma that she is named after. Forever in our hearts! Love you! Margaret

It's been a little over 6 months and oh how I miss talking to you( to hear your voice). I know you are fine but I sure do miss you. Matt is out of school for the summer. You would be so proud, he got a certificate again this year for accelerated reader. (He is growing up fast). I think of you ..miss &love you! You are always in my heart.

It's Christmas day and I know how much you always loved it. You are in my heart and mind and I wonder what you are doing today in Heaven. Are you still in awe just to be home in the presence of JESUS or are you celebrating with the love one you have been waiting so long to see again. Whatever you are doing, I know you are having the time of your life. To celebrate you, I sang "My Home" at church this morning. We miss you so....but you live forever in our hearts..MERRY CHRISTMAS! Love you, Wayne and Margaret

It has been 2 weeks since you left us...it still does not seem real. I find myself ready to pick up the phone and call you and I remember you are not there. I know that you are better than fine and you are having the time of your life. I just wanted to tell you I LOVE YOU and I SURE DO MISS YOU! (but I wouldn't bring you back if I could) We will be together again soon. ALWAYS IN MY HEART! Margaret

LINDA TOOK CARE OF JANET AT T.L.C. THANKS!!

Linda was truly my best friend, not only my sister-in-law. We went through a lot together and every moment will always be a cherished time. I will miss her so much, but I have the blessed hope of seeing her again because of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So until then I will just say "I'll See You Later"

Linda my best friend and sister in God:s name you will be missed dearly, You be in Gods hands now and free from all pain until we meet again--Love and peace Margaret Richard and your girls at Senior TLC

We will miss her greatly. We will miss our nightly talks and words of wisdom. She gave us unconditional love, even when we disagreed on certain things. We forged a bond that will never be broken. She is out of her pain and for that we are happy. Our prayers to Joel, Terrie, Matthew, Stan, Margaret, her son Harry and wife Kristen and daughter Tricia and her other siblings and Carey who she thought of so much for his kindness towards Matt. We know she is rejoicing with her son, Danny in heaven.

Linda was such a sweet and loving person. Prayers for all of her loved ones. I was blessed to have known her.
