I was so saddened to learn that Linda had passed. She was my best friend while we attended Lucas Elementary. We walked to school together and I often spent time at her house after school. Our friend circles widened after entering Amos Hiatt Jr High and East High but we remained friends.
My deepest condolences to her family. Wishing you peace and comfort in your sorrow.

♥️Linda♥️
It has been an honor to know and love Linda the past few years. Linda was a woman of few words, but was always paying attention. I remember meeting Linda and being thoroughly impressed with how many songs she knew, across many genres.
Sheryl, you are the sister everyone hopes for. You have been steady through this storm. You gently advocated for Linda and showed up day after day, becoming part of our family on Magnolia. We will miss you.
T.J. and Mark, thanks for showing up for your aunt. She took great pride in both of you, that was perfectly clear. It isn't easy to be witness to this disease, your presence was appreciated.
Rest in peace Miss Linda. Cheers to a life well lived.
I love you,
♥️Mindy (nurse at VVV)
