Lisa, I wish I had the right words to comfort you. This is such a shock it is so hard to believe she is gone. She had so many plans she was looking forward too with Carol coming to visit. She even talked about you all moving to Arizona and she would’nt have to deal with snow and cold weather. Now She is in God’s heavenly place, warm, worry & pain free & with Jim. She will always be watching over you smiling and happy. We have to hold on to our memories we have alot of them. LOL, Nancy

So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was a very special person. We really enjoyed our years of knowing her and Jim and the many great times we spent together.
Our deepest condolences go out to her family,–Mike & Betty
You have our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother and sister. Cherish the memories of fun times together.
Stopping by to pay my respect to one of my favorite aunts. Linda was always such a carrying person. I used to love going to play at the house in Moss Landing throwing rocks off the cliff and having linda yell at me.. “Dirtball quit throwing rocks” i would laugh. and keep throwing them. as of late i would always try to send linda stuff i was doing on facebook and keep her updated on me even if she never responded. I knew she would read it.. 🙂 Lots of Fun times and memories with Linda and my Uncle Jim. 2 really great people. I’m gonna miss her.
Your a lucky girl cousin Lisa! you were raised well! 🙂

Lisa, Chuck and Charles. So I’m sitting here thinking about your Mom and everything she meant to me, and I can hear her saying “Misty, suck it up and quit crying” and then she is laughing, her laugh.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I wish the distance weren’t so great because I’d really like to give some hugs right now. Lisa, your Mom was a special lady, she will always be close in my heart. What a wonderful Aunt she was to me. I will honor her always. Please know I am thinking of you all and sending you love from Arizona. I was thinking the other day that Linda must be having a great time whipping Uncle Jim into shape in heaven, cause we can only imagine what kinda havoc he’s been up to these last 10 years. What a reunion that must be.

You have our deepest sympathy for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care.
We are so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. We have some great memories of all of our years of vanning. It seems like we were getting together almost every week end at someone’s house, whether it was at Jerry & Mercy’s or your Mom & Dad’s, or Larry & Joan’s. Those are memories that we all love to reminisce about.
I hope all of the wonderful memories you have of your Mom comfort you during this difficult time.
Love,
Emily & Gale
