There's a hole in my heart where Linda has lived for my entire adult life. I still pick up the phone to call her almost every day, just to check in. I can't imagine a time when I won't think about her and miss her every day.

When I think Of Linda, I picture her laughing. I know that she had some sad times, but I remember her laughter, her joy in the small things. She was a wonderful person and I am so very glad I knew her. I miss her.

Linda was our beloved 'angel' on earth, and now in heaven. She touched so many lives with her own. We have all been blessed to have known and loved her. We take comfort in knowing she is in the arms of Jesus and will only know love. Our prayers and thoughts are with Herdes and Jeff. Love,

What a great lady that touched the hearts of so many people. She saw the best in people, and by her unconditional love, brought out the best in people. She will always be with us in spirit. We celebrate your life, Linda Hamilton!

Dear Jeff,
I thank God for Linda and your love and friendships these past 23 years.
I have many good memories of both of you. You have become like a sister and brother to me. Helped me through many tough times. This past week I have thought of many times we spent together. The many breakfasts after church, the house sitting, the talks, the time sitting on the back porch, the time burning my hand making candy, the Christmas parties...I could go on and on. Even though I'm not there in body, I am in spirit and thought.
I can thank God for giving me good people to care for one another.
I will miss her but I know she is happy and dancing and waiting to see us again when we go home to be with our Lord.
