Mike, Jason and Matt, so sorry to hear of your loss. Linda was a beautiful person & I will always remember ball games when our children were young. My prayers are with all of you.
We knew Linda from the time our now-adult children where just toddlers. She was a wonderful person and mother. For us, she was a kind and giving friend. Our community will miss her willingness to help. As an educator, she was able to reach so many children with her capable and caring teaching skills. She will be missed greatly in so many ways.
