Natalie,
Please know I am very sad to hear of Lindas passing. We were best friends in high school. I do know you were the apple of her eye. Thru the years we drifted apart and I am so sorry we never connected again. You and your family are in my prayers.

Natalie, I am sorry for the loss of your sweet, precious momma. She always lit up a room with her smile. I will always cherish our childhood memories and the love that your mom always gave to my family and I. She was such a strong, amazing woman with a heart of gold. I will miss her deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you my sweet friend. I wish I could be there to give you a big hug right now. I love you so much, Laurie Funder Carleton

Linda and I have been neighbors for quite some time. She was a sweet and kind person but also proved to be quite a fighter against a terrible foe.
I will miss seeing her working away on some project around her house.
She was a good egg. God speed Linda

Such a warm, sensitive, loving woman. I could not have hoped for a better mother-in-law for my son, Brian. She treated him as if he was her own. Natalie, Shelbi, Jeff and Joe were so lucky to have you. Thank you, Linda for all the awesome times we spent together during the holidays, trips, dinners and just relaxing together. We will truly miss you, but I know you are at peace and without pain for the first time in a long time. Say hello to all the others who have gone before us. Until we meet again.....Love - Paul and Ann

Natalie: I taught step aerobics at the Hobart Y over twenty years ago, and you and your mom took my class. I was so sorry to see that she passed away. I remember how close the two of you were. She was such a neat lady. I remember her speaking of her travels to Hawaii. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
