Hallmark Family, My condolences on the loss of your sweet mom. I just discovered Linda's passing accidentally while ooking for another obituary. I didn't even know that Ernie was gone. The Roach family loved Ernie and Linda. And I met them when I married Paul & joined the Roach family in 1970. I just wanted to pay my belated respects to you. I didn't realize Andy had joined your family. I've been gone from Jonesboro for so long now, I 've lost touch with so many old friends... God Bless. Rest In Peace, Linda & Ernie.
Love, Peggy Parks Roach Belatedly on 9/23/24
