Cindy,
When I think of your mother, I think of a picture i took when you and I were teenagers . Linda was pretty annoyed with me when I took a picture of her while she was treating her face to a green mask of goo. And, yet, that moment is the one captured in my mind. It reminds me of her energy, lively spirit and laugh.
Funny the things that we remember. I hope that many good memories fill your mind -- bringing joy and comfort to you and your family.
With love,
Donna

Al and Family,
What fun Linda and I had growing up together, singing and sharing secrets, "ironing our hair" to make it strait. Time and life took us in different directions but the good memories are still there.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear family,
We just learned of this in the paper. You, Al and Linda have been such a comfort to us over the years and we need, late as usual to express our appreciation and sympathy to each of you. All of you made our burden lighter following the death of Russell and Linda during the various illnesses they suffered.
Thank you and may God bless and keep you all in His arms.
