May God Bless you and your family during this difficult time. You have many good memories of Linda and you will always have a special place in your heart. My Irish grandmother used to tell me that the stars in the sky were windows into heaven and I'm sure Linda is looking out and watching over all of you as she now is your guardian angel. RIP Linda and know that you are loved and will be missed.
