Aunt Linda, I can't believe you are gone!!!

There are people in this world who make you feel like they're going to live a long and full life --- You were one of those people for me.

When this all began, I felt for sure that you'd be home and back to your normal self in no time. Never did I think we would be saying, Goodbye! My heart breaks for you, because I KNOW it never would have been your choice to leave Uncle Dwayne and the kids or Rita & Eileen. You loved them all so much and would do anything for them. THEY were your life.

My heart breaks for Uncle Dwayne & the family too, because they're all going to be so lost without you. They're going to miss that rough exterior and soft heart. They're going to miss your name calling and constant compliments (well really insults) LOL :D

The thing I'm going to miss the most is your forthright honesty. You were never afraid to tell someone what you thought I liked the fact that I always knew where I stood with you. You never sugar-coated things; you just told it like it was.

I'm also going to miss you calling me to tell me you've been saving box tops and milk cartons for Madi --- I always thought that was so very sweet of you. I must have posted a million times on FB and I know so many people use those products and throw the tops away, but you were so conscientious about saving them for me and I will always remember that and be grateful for your thoughtfulness!!!! (In life, little things like this matter & can make a big difference)

I am truly going to miss you lady! You will forever be in my thoughts, and the family in my prayers. Wishing you were still here with us
God Bless!
