Linda was a loving mother who was devoted to her son Vander. She had strong beliefs of which she held stedfast. She worked together with Russel, her steadfast husband, to be an example for Vander as he moved through life's challenges. Linda was adventurous in her career choices but always returned to helping and guiding others to better health. She will be missed as a guiding light to all she encounters, Russell, and Vander.
