It is always sad to lose a loved one, especially before they have had a chance to grow old. My thoughts and prayers are with Linda's family and friends as they journey through their grief at her loss. God bless!

Every single time I met her she was in a good mood and overly nice to me. I didn't know her that well but she raised one of my favorite people on this earth. So I'll remember her as a positive nice person who raised a hell of a guy.
