Linda was a Rock of a friend. We had our love of cats in common. I miss her. I looked her up this morning because I wanted to see her face. I missed the memorial service due to CovID concerns. She was a lovely Lady. Sorry I don´t have a picture of her.

Linda was a special cousin as she and I were close in age and I went to visit her and uncle Grant one summer by myself. When I was on a trip in her area I would always call and chat. Linda always seemed like a happy and joyous person. I am glad to have called her my cousin.

Linda was an outgoing and adventurous person. She was a joy to be with and I still remember some of the stories she related concerning a summer visit to my mother and father's place one summer. She will be missed. My love to Betty and family.
