Although we did not speak every day or see each other as often as I would have liked, I miss my firend so much. Last night I was cleaning some of my Disney figurines....Thought of something and in a very, very brief second, said to myself, "I will call Linda and ask her". Wow..really hit me she is gone. I know that will not be the last moment like that for me. She made me laugh and I will always be in awe of her talents! Love, Susan

moms never leave us their spirit remains forever - thanks to lindas inspiration all these years
August 14, 2010
I am an online customer and I recently lost my mother to breast cancer. Through my journey of becoming a motherless child, I have come to know that although my mother is not physically with me, her spirit remains. When i feel sad, i remember all the happy times she created for our family. When I feel overwhelmed, I remember how strong she was, even when facing imminent death. My prayer is that your own mother's faith, love and strength will always be a source of comfort and guidance for you until you are reunited in heaven.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend, Linda. She always had a smile and positive words whenever I visited her home or store. Many quilters knew and loved her for her creativity and helpfulness whenever in her store. She loved the Lord and looked forward to His coming. Now she has met Him and is out of the sadness and sickness of this world. I look forward to seeing her again someday in the heavens.

Marv and Elizabeth, We were so sorry to read of the loss of Linda. We had no idea you lived in the Minneapolis area, as do we. It has been such a long time since the Little Rock days! Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you at this time. Jan and Tim Frederick, from the 61st.

Liz,
I know you won't know me by name, but probably by face. I've been in your store many times and always appreciated you and Linda's enthusiasm for quilting.
I loved her energy and positive attitude. Liz, you have done a wonderful job of keeping us updated via the weekly newsletter. I didn't know her well, but I'll miss her. Keep your best memories of her in your heart!

Dearest Beth, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your Dad. You know how much your Mom meant to me. Her laughter was always so musical and contagious. I know she is singing praises to the Lord and saying "Hi" to our Jack. His birthday was August 6th. Steve and I are on vacation, but send all our love to you.

Linda will be remembered for her talent, laughter and kindness. She was especially kind to me making an impossible situation work for 2 1/2 years with lots of laughter. She also proved over and over praying to St. Anthony when you can't find something will result in the lost being found. She was an amazing person and I will never forget her.
Marv and Liz you are in my prayers for strength during this difficult time.
Love ya!

I've only known Linda for a few years and she has always been so kind. When my sister Jean would come from out of town, we'd call Linda and we'd visit with her at the shop..... and made sure we brought Linda a donut. Also, when I went thru breast cancer three years ago, Linda was very supportive to me on my journey.

I was so sorry to hear of Linda's cancer and have prayed for you all during the last few months. I have so many fond memories of her (and you all) and the closeness we have shared during happier times. She was a very special woman. I know that she has no pain in Heaven! and I hope that is a comfort to you both.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during the coming days.

Linda will be in my heart forever. Whenever a quilter says something funny, on "our" birthday, when I make such a mess in my quilt room I can't find the table, when someone is kind to me when I'm down, when I think Liz is fabulous, when I want to show someone my newest creation . . . and many many more times, I will think of Linda and smile. We were very lucky to know her and she will be missed.
