We are so sorry to hear of Linda's transition. She is with her Lord and savior. No longer in pain.
She fought graciously and gracefully.
We had such fun telling her friends, I'm Linda Maddox also.
While we didn't chat often, I always knew, I could call and She would be there. She is leaving a great legacy.
She will be missed. Love and hugs to Daniel and the family.

Linda and I are so sad to hear of Linda's transition. But, she is with her savior now. She always had angle wings here....I'm sure God has seen fit to welcome her with open arms.
