When I was 17 Fred and Linda took me in and let me be apart of there family. For that I am foverver greatful. I told my sons that there was a party in hevan and it started to get a little dull, so God decided to liven the party and he called on the one person who would get it jumping and that was my aunt Linda. I never seen her angry in the 18 years I've known her. Whom ever reads this posting close your eyes here her voice and see her smile, don't cry because she's where she needs to be that's where we all want to go, in Hevan!! I LOVE YOU Tia I will miss you but I know I will see you again.

My Aunt Linda was my "mother" next door. She was there for a shoulder to lean on and never pushed anyone away. She was loving, caring and loved her family so much. I'd like to thank her for all of the little conversations that we had and she somehow always made me see something better out of all my problems. She was loved by all and always will be. Can't wait to see her again so I can say thank you. I love you Aunt Linda and miss you already.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I have heard that it is not how you die, but how you live that counts. Rosalinda lived in a way that impacted many, many people's lives. I will miss her, but am more glad to have known her in the first place.
