Dear Sonny, Al and families, I am so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. I did not know until today when I kept wondering why I hadn't seen her on facebook. We share so many great memories, fun and sad times together. You were all like family always. Love and prayers, Mickey and family

Dear Sonny and Al,
I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. I think often of the days when you and Patrick and Julia were toddlers and the good times with your mom and dad and Nannaw and Pappaw. You are both in my thoughts. Love, Lynn

My heart and prayers go out to those she left behind. Especially her two granddaughters. Linda and I had some great times at her place in Warren. She road me around on her golf cart and showed me her world! We watched her deer, fox and Turkey at her feeders and went birding around her property. When she and Sam moved to Little Rock which she didn’t want to do, she found a new world of birds and critters to watch out her back door. God blessed her with black squirrels and an array of wild birds. I have always cherished these memories.
Rest in peace girlfriend.
Love
Tammy

My sympathy to the family. I knew Linda many years ago when we were all in high school.

So sad to lose another member of the Hall High Class of 1960. Linda was a very sweet person and I am sure will be missed by her Family and Friends.

Sonny, Al and all my Arkansas family,
I am so terribly heartbroken at the passing of my sweet Aunt Linda. I will miss our hours long calls, genealogy discussions and the love she expressed for us, especially my mom. They may have been sisters-in-law but loved each other like sisters. And, I will always regret that my plans to visit her in the spring will never come to fruition.
If it were not for Linda, it may not have been that all the Petray children and Grandma would be reunited. We were all immensely grateful for her persistence.
On behalf of all the California Petray family, know that our love, thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Your cousin, Dianna
P.S. Please contact me. I'm certain you will find my number in her phone.
