I just saw you the other day gave you a hug and you were on your way. I had no idea that I would not see you the very next day and I am so heartbroken. We had conversations when I was acting up and you always told me the truth. I will miss that million dollar smile, the hugs and the laughter. I won't say goodbye just see you later you are a great person who will always live in our hearts. To God be the glory

We did not know Linda well but we shared three fine grandchildren whose lives will be darkened by the loss of their grandmother who was an important part of their lives. She was a generous and loving person whose loss will leave a huge hole in the lives of her family. She will be missed.
