Lisa and family – My thoughts and prayers are with you for your loss.
Linda was such a wonderful, kind woman. We always enjoyed being with her and were so happy to be a part of her family. A person’s life is appropriately measured by the children they leave behind. Linda has such beautiful children. They are still her, with Linda’s blood flowing in their veins. We believe that it was just time for Linda to take a walk with Taco Joe in the woods. Our love to you Linda and your family.
Indeed, the world will not be the same. She taught so many of us how to live and how to love. She will be missed dearly but she lives on in our hearts & her everlasting love will always be felt.
