I'm so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I would love to have seen her again. We grew up together from the time we were born til we graduated from high school. I have been out of the country for about 25 of the last 40 years but I still remember the great times that we had as kids. I will miss you cousin.

Dustin and family,
Our heartfelt sorrows go out to you and your entire family. Ms.Linda always has and always will hold a special place in my heart. She was a dear friend and my confidant many times. She always could uplift my spirits when I needed it. The memories we shared are etched on my heart. I am deeply saddened by her loss. I can only begin to grasp the loss you all must feel. She will be thought of and missed dearly!
I am reminded in these times of sadness of those words from the Bible that say "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted."
May God's blessings and peace be with you and your family.
With love,
Tracie C.
