The family would like to acknowledge and thank Kadlec Hospital doctors, nurses, and staff for their care. Even on her worst days during her hospital stays, Linda joked with the hospital staff even though she was hurting to make their workday better.
Special thanks to nieces Lori, Andie, Hospice nurse Jana and her childhood friend Brenda Wilson Urlacher for their loving care and kindness.

Through my lifelong friendship with one of her sisters, I've seen Linda grow from an adorable little joy filled girl in pigtails to a beautiful soul who shared her love and joy with all who knew her. I send my condolences to her wonderful family. I know her spirit, now joined with your sweet parents, will be with you always.

She was a great beautiful woman. I only knew her for a short while but she made me feel like I knew her for a lifetime. That´s what kind of woman she was. I was just a co worker of her son Brandon but we had shared many stories and laughs just in passing. Truly an amazing interesting lady who listened to you and made you feel good about yourself. Extremely funny!!! She seemed to have that way about her and boy she made me laugh and so comfortable in her presence I´m so blessed to have met her...sending my deepest condolences to her family taking on such a great loss. She will be missed.

Derik and Brandon, We are so sorry for your loss. You guys are great neighbors and we will never forget the lift the whole cul de sac could feel every time Linda was out and about. Loved hearing her voice over the fence and dashing out my back door so we could spin each other up!
