Linda will always be one of my best friends. She was one of the first people to greet me when I moved to Shirland and years later she became my sister-in-law for 16 years, then she was just my best friend again. I sure did miss her when she moved away from the area. I still remember the night Linda and Bud met.

Dave and family, I am so very sorry to learn of Linda's passing. You and your family were important to me when we moved to Shirland and I came to know and appreciate you and Linda. You both were touchstones for me as I settled into a new community and schools. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
