So many fond memories of Linda. She and I went back many years. She was a wonderful human being and a kind soul. She and my mom had the same oncology nurse and I remember Linda always being upbeat and smiling even in the face of personal adversity. Both these loving souls area at peace now and resting in the arms of the Lord.
May God Bless Linda's entire family at this very sad and most difficult time.

I will always REMEMBER LINDA
when I stamp, make a card. She was always there if I needed an idea or just to talk. She loved to stamp. She was a very kind & giving person. I will miss her.

May God bless you and give you sweet memories to help you through your sorrow. Cancer can take a lot from us, but it can't take our love or our memories. Linda gave us both, and showed us what courage and strength really are.
