I will always remember Linda peaking out the door while we back out of y’all’s driveway. She thought we couldn’t see her but we could. We always laughed at her for doing that. She was a special person and loved her kids. She is up in Heaven now with you dad, Misty, Shea, and Jim.

So sorry for the loss of your Mom. But , she is in a much better place now. I’m sure she’s loving on Misty and Shae right now. And of course your Dad. I remember her always being so nice every time I came and stayed at your house. She was so sweet. And I loved going to her ceramics shop back in the day. I’ll keep all of your family in my prayers.
