  2. Little did we know when we gained a wonderful daughter-in-law we would also find two special friends in Linda and Larry Calton. We are truly saddened with Linda’s passing. She was such a fine person; AND above all else a supreme Nana to the precious grandsons we share. Love, Mike and Connie Mulhollem

  3. Linda, it was a joy to know you and to be one of “your folks.” Thank you for sharing your wonderful daughter and aiming high for her As I sit here, I remember the trust, the laughter, and your delight in everything Brooke and I undertook. The summer I laid all of my writing all through my great grandmother’s home comes to mind; you laughed heartily “at the mess.” Thanks too for checking in on me through the years and sending Larry when a mower chain needed replaced or the lawn needed bush hogging. My love and my deep and sincere condolences to Larry, Brooke, and the family.
