Linda touched my heart as she did so many. She was kind, interesting, beautiful and brave. She will live forever in my heart as one of the people I will never forget. She was one-of-a-kind and reared a group of women who are following in her foot-steps. It was my privilege having known her.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Linda's family. She fought the good fight with grace and strength. She always loved to talk about her girls and how proud she was of each one of you. We have fond memories of Kenny and Linda. I loved listening to her share her strong faith in God while on her journey. Our ladies Bible study just isn't the same without her. I'm sure she's having the time of her life in Heaven. I'm so thankful that our paths crossed. She will be missed.
Love and prayers to all,
Dave & Linda Masirovits
