Momma Linda was more than a mother she is a best friend. Loving, caring, and gracious. She will be dearly missed on earth but we will see you again one day. The things you tought me and the talks we had. You are more than a friend you are my family and I know you are taking care of my brother and looking out for him as you have done me. I love you and Lyndsay, Ray, Caleb and Me will stick together no matter what. Just like you have tought us to do. I love you and I miss you a little more every day.

Go rest now precious one,
Your life in eternity has just begun.
Now you can walk, your legs are brand
new.
All of heaven is now in your view.

Look all around,it's all in your sight,
There will never be another dark night.
Flowers and jewels, the street of pure gold,and all of the things that have been told.

I can just imagine the smile on your face as you walk all around in that beautiful place.
Greeting our loved ones as you walk along,while singing heaven's most beautiful song.

This is so very hard,but it will all be okay,it isn't goodbye,we'll see you one day.
We love you and we'll miss you and at times it will be tough,but as with everything,God's grace will be enough.
