I found out today of linda's passing. I have not seen her for years...but my earliest memories of her were all the love she gave me and happy times we spent together when I was a child. My thoughts and prayers go out to her children. I'm so sorry that the family has to go through this. God keep everyone strong until you meet with her again.

I am deeply saddened hearing the news recently. I didn't know. I got the chance to meet Linda and share some laughs with her. She had a good heart, and was generous and always fun. I pray especially for her children both Kaitlin and Ryan. Paul as well. She spoke highly of them, they meant the world to her. May the good Lord blanket you with comfort til you see her again someday. With Love and Sympathy, LM

Linda and I worked together selling real estate around 5 years ago. She was very productive and I benefited from working with her and knowing her.

May god bless your family. You are all in my prayers.

I was so sad to learn of Linda's passing. She was a wonderful landlord whom I thought very highly of. Her hard work and dedication were well known and will be truly missed.

to bob, trudy, larry, and mike, and the rest of your family

please accept my apology for not attending linda's memorial
i dont keep up with news and was not aware services had taken place

i have a memory of your sister

a couple days or so after my mother passed away my sisters and brother and i were sitting around gerry's house - just quietly mostly

the doorbell rang; it was linda.
she was standing there with a casserole dish in her hands.
she said she just wanted to bring
something by to let us know she was thinking of us
during our difficult time

i will never forget that gesture of kindness linda gave us
it is my defining and lasting image of her and i know it is my brother's & sisters' as well

the meiners and jaloves may not be blood kin
but i also know there is no one gerry or i regard more highly than the the meiners' - this story just one of many reasons why

we wish peace for linda
and for all of you at this difficult time now

forgive me i do not have mailing addresses and only hope this method is acceptable

Dear Larry,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know full well what it means to lose a sibling and will hold you, and your family, in prayers. May your dear sister Linda rest in peace.

I only heard of the Linda's passing from a staff member after the memorial service. We have worked together for over 20 years. She was an amazing person who will be missed. Long ago I learned that the real way to judge a person's life is to ask a simple question, "Was the world a better place because that person was on it?" The answer for Linda was definately "Yes". My symphathies go to here children and family memebrs.

I'm very saddened to hear about this shocking news. Linda was one of my employees for many years. I will forever be grateful to her for stepping up to the bat for me when my Mother was ill for a year with cancer. Her hard work during that time allowed me several visits to Amarillo, Texas....16 as a matter of fact. She was an amazing person! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
Sincerely,
Gary M. Moore
