I loved you like a sister not a cousin.You were always such a funny person and was fun to be around. Now my friend....no more worries. You are now at peace and with God. What a wonderful place to be.

Love you always

I worked with Linda in the 80s and 90s at College Foundation. We went out to lunch a lot. The Gateway restaurant and chicken pastry was one of our favorites. We would take turns driving and that was when she had that old station wagon. I know she is happy to be with her Mom and Dad again. Wishing Peace and Comfort for Alan.

Linda was a wonderful spirit. We go way back to the 80's working at College Foundation Inc. Linda was a great friend. I remember her giving me that stuff to paint my nails with that tasted horrible, but it worked. I stopped biting them. She had a great love for animals & a special place in heart for cats. I know she loved & adored Alan & I wish him peace and love.

Linda is one of those people that you never forget. I remember her as being a happy go lucky person when I worked at College Foundation quite some time ago. My prayers go out to her family and loved ones.

How bittersweet that Linda should pass on a Friday. She was a co-worker of mine for over 20 years. Every time I would ask her how she was doing, she would say "Girl, I'd be a whole lot better if it was Friday!" My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and those closest to her.

I knew Linda & worked with her @ College Foundation since 1989. I had an instant likeness for her when I found out she was a "Cat" lover. I will miss you my friend. Just to think, you have already seen Jesus & are with your beloved parents. Until we meet again...

Linda was my nephew's partner for 25 years. Whenever my sister
would call me in her presence she always said "hey girlfriend". She's gone to be with her Mom and Dad in heaven. The day before she died my sister and I were visiting with her and my sister sang " when we all get to heaven what a wondeful place it will be" and Linda moved her leg.She will be be missed by our family especially by my nephew Alan Evans.
