Jimmy.Pat and family I was so shocked to hear about Linda’s passing. She was only 11 when we first met, to me she still seems so young. Watching her grow into a young lady and yes making her mistakes like everyone else, She was a sweetlady that will be missed but she is in God’s garden now. I am keeping you all in my prayers and I know Linda will watching over you all. Hilda
We were very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. Our prayers are with you.
I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. My sympathy and Prayers are with all of you at this time.
I was so sad to hear that Linda had pass away. I am more sadden to hear how she spent her last few days on Earth. I think back and remember her as a little girl staying at our house happy and excited to be spending time with my family and her Grandmother. I can still see her standing out side our house in the rain waiting to go to school, now Linda will again be close to her Mom and Grandmother in the most beautiful and peaceful place on this Earth.
Dawn and Tami I can only say that you have lost your Mom and that each of you will reflect back on the Love you shared and that the memories will never go away. However, it is time for each of you to think about how you are living your life’s and that of your little childern and try to turn your life around. There is all kind of help out there it’s up to you to reach out for support. Think about your childern and the world that they are living in.
Jim, I know the pain you are feeling in your heart and wish that I could be there to provide the support that you need. I will prey that God has mercy on Linda’s soul and that he understands how we all feel at this time and that God will give us the strength to think only of the good times and keep those memories with us forever. God Bless and Protect us all. Love Uncle Ed and Family.
I was sad to hear that Linda had passed way, but it saddens me more to hear how she had spent her last few days on Earth. I think back on the time that Linda and her Grandma was living at our house in CA and I can see her still standing outside our house waiting in the rain waiting for the bus to pick her up and take her to school. She was a very happy and excited little girl enjoying spending time with my family. Now Linda will be placed to rest next to her Mom and Grandma and all the other family members that have gone on before her in the most beautiful and peaceful place on this Earth.
Tami and Dawn, I want you to think about the good times and the Love that was shared with your Mother. Remember the good times and carry those memories with you for the rest of your life. However, I want each of you to think about your life and how you are living it – think about the childern you have brought into this world and those that are still to be born. If you think long enough you will determine that you need to get some help. There are all kinds of support groups out there that are willing to provide the support to help you turn your life around but only you can do that,only you, no one else! I am very concerned about the little babies that need to grow up in a safe and sane world with love and caring folks around them to protect and give them all the things that will help them grow up to be free of the evil things in this world.
Jim, I know the pain that you are going through and we have been through this many times in the past. I will pray for Linda’s soul and ask God to remember all the good in her life and support all of us as we suffer yet another loss to our family.
Love and God Bless, Uncle Ed and Family

I’m so sorry about Linda’s going on to heaven, although she is in a better place now and out of pain. Linda was a good person who cared for her friends. I remember the photos and flowers she made when I lost my oldest son, Jeff. She will be missed. Shirley
I understand & sympathize with your loss…my prayers are with all of you.
To Tammy & Dawn, My simpathy and prayers are with you through this difficult time. I wish I could be there to tell you I love you. I know too well the sorrow you feel when loosing your Mother. I’ve known Linda since high school, and the last time I seen her was on Christmas Eve 2004. Her life then was full of pain, suffering, and anxiety, but I know now she is at peace. She was a good mother, grandmother, and friend. No matter what was going on in her life, she always reached out to others. She was there for me when I needed a friend. She may be gone from our lives, but not forgotten.
This makes me think of the song by Brad Paisley, ‘When I get to where I’m going, Don’t cry for me down here’. I know she is at the place she was going, and I believe she’s probably saying that right now. Me, Coleman, Ben & Josh send our love.
Linda was precious, and loved a lot. And will be missed even more. Our prayers are with the family.
