One thing I will never forget about Linda is a quality that lacks in our society these days and that was her ability to be fair. No matter if you were her child or not she was always fair with her attention for you whether is was praise or punishment. Her strength and perseverance was something to be admired. She held not only herself but her family together at their lowest moments. Stacy thank you for sharing her with me while we were growing up. I will always have love for her….. She is one of the lady’s in my life that helped shape that little girl into who I am today. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Mom
I just want you to know… I couldn’t have asked for better mom. You were everything a daughter could ask for and more. You always loved me unconditionally. No matter where I was in my life. You stood my me and believed in me when I couldn’t even believe in myself. Growing up I admired you. I seen this strong lady who never let anything get her down. For all that you were put through in life. You held your head up high and never let life get you down. The strength you had even at the end was amazing. Mom who’s going to call me and ask why I haven’t called? I’m going to miss so many things about you. Please watch over us. Until we meet again my beautiful angel. I LOVE YOU DO MUCH…. Your daughter stacy

I have know you since I was a little girl, you are an amazing woman! You will be missed by so many! May you Rest In Peace sweet Linda! Rest high!
What a wonderful, lively, outspoken woman. She’s an angel now. I remember her sharing laughter with my mom while @ bingo. Linda was spunky. My heart goes out to her family.
When Linda was around, there was never a dull moment. She had a great attitude and was always laughing. She was a very happy go lucky person. We had a lot of fun together. She will be missed. – Much love Joyce Stewart
Mom
I know I said I’d be ok…but I’m not. I’m a hot mess. I miss you so much. I don’t know who I am without you. I feel like a part of me died with you. I try really hard to get through just one day without crying. It’s not working very well. Please watch over us. You were my rock and I didn’t realize how much of an impact you leaving was going to have on my life. Fly high my beautiful angel.
