Mom it's been 2 years in 3 more days. I miss you so much. You taught me everything in life except one thing, and that one thing is how to live to live without you. I love you more than any words can say. I know you are watching me and I'm aware of the signs you give me. I have some comfort knowing you are with my twin Bridgett and my sister Anita. I know grandma and grandpa were there to greet you. That does give me some comfort.
I love you mom

Brydie, Machelle and David, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Linda was a mom to all of us in the neighborhood. The first time I met your mom, it was her birthday, and we were having a party.Linda started dancing and singing to the Rolling Stones having the best time. From that moment on I thought she was the coolest mom in the world. That was almost 40 years ago and Linda still holds that honor. I was able to visit with Linda a few times this last year and she was still smiling and Laughing with that young, gentle spirit. Rest in peace Linda.
