My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to Linda’s family and friends.
I can attest to her genuine kindness, giving and sincere love for others before herself.
Be with the Lord Linda until we meet again.
Dear Maxine and family,
I am so very sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. As you know, we have been friends ever since the 6th grade at St. Francis! Linda always amazed me by the way she remembered dates; not just the day, but the year too! On my birthday this year, Linda asked me if I remember what I said to her when she first came to school – which I didn’t, but Linda said, you said Hi! I have many wonderful memories of sleepovers, going to visit her grandma, rides on her pony Ginger and so much more. Over the years we lost touch a little, but always seemed to be able to catch up later on!
I’m not certain I will be able to attend Friday, but please know I share in your sadness. May God Bless all of you and bring you peace and comfort.
Sorry to hear of Linda’s passing.
Too young.

Linda was so kind to me while I had to spend time at LRCC. I will always remember he kindness and genuine interest in people. She was always telling me about saving up so she could buy presents for her nephews. Such sadness at this news, and much sympathy to her surviving family and to her co-workers at LRCC.
Dear Cheryl, Eric and Family,
So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m heartbroken to hear of Linda’s passing. She was a extremely sweet girl, she was loved by all who knew her. I will miss seeing her out and about in town. Every time I saw her, she always asked
me “How are you” before anything else. She cared deeply, I will miss you Linda.
I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers to you Maxine and family.
