Dear Dale & Family - We are so sad to hear of Linda passing. What a great loving, caring friend. We had so many good times on the golf course and had many laughs. Linda was a wonderful person. Please take care and know you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.
