She has always been so nice to me. RIP Linda
Linda, was a wonderful person. I remember her when I was a young girl, she was always doing something to help me, whether it be to give me clothes or do my hair. If the clothes needed alterations, Linda's mother Gladys would alter them for me. I would spend the night at Linda's and she would take me to the ballgames. For me, that was a treat! I will forever be grateful to her and I will never forget her and all she did for me! Rest in peace, cousin.
