My deepest love
Never got to meet Linda personally but she was on my facebook and we had many long chats. She was an extremely nice person. My cousin David is married to her sister Carolyn. I was so sorry to hear about her passing. Prayers for all of your family.
I was so sad to hear of Linda’s passing. I am thinking of you all and keeping you in my thoughts as you transition through this most difficult time. Prayers and hugs to all the family.
Miss Linda was a wonderful member of our Life Skills classroom at GHS. Her loving kindness will be forever missed by our staff and students. We will also miss her love of music of our Gainesville Swing Orchestra and her help selling tickets and enjoying our Christmas concerts at NCTC. She rests in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers always. We love you Miss Linda
