Im so sorry to hear this. She was always a friend and a fun person to hang out with. Rip sweet Linda.
Really enjoyed knowing Linda back in high school.
Linda was one of the sweetest people I knew in school. She always had a beautiful smile.
RIP, friend.
I’m so saddened to hear about Linda’s passing. She was always such a sweet and kind person. We met in junior high and I lost track of her after high school. She was always so much fun. My heart goes out to her family. Prayers for sweet Linda.
So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was always so sweet to me and my girls, who were her stepdaughters at one time. Although she was divorced from his grandfather , she even came to the hospital when my first grandchild was born and we celebrated him together. That was the kind of loving person she was. May she finally rest in peace.
Prayers to Suzzanne and John and rest of the family.
