Douglas and family--I was so sorry to hear of your mom's death. She had so many talents and her own inimitable sense of humor. I am glad that she was able to spend her last months in a place she wanted to be and was able to enjoy adventures with your family. I opened my pantry door this morning and saw a craft project that she did when she was still in Fairbanks, a moose to stuff plastic bags into. It brought tears to my eyes, but also made me smile to think of Linda and made me determined to find a way to send you my sympathy. Condolences--Sue Sherif

To All of Linda's Family & Friends,

How soon we lose the ones who bring true meaning to our lives, and touch us in so many special ways.

Thank you all for sharing Linda, with me -- she enjoyed life and brought smiles and sincerity to all she met.

To soon she is gone, but not before impressing us all. Like Linda, may we learn to enjoy life with no regrets. Linda, yours will be a hard act to follow... Thank you for being my boss, my neighbor, and most of all "MY FRIEND".

You are forever
in my memory,

Dearest Doug & Family,

I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother.

Doug, thanks for sharing your Mom with all of us. My Mom and family love her so much. Everyone with whom she came in contact were very blessed. She gave us all many years of love & joy. I can't begin to tell you all the wonderful things about your Mom. Linda gave 100% love to everyone. She was always there for me and she never put herself first. I know everyone would agree with me about how awesome she was and that she had a heart of gold.

She had so much love for you and your family and all her friends; she touched all of us. I was very blessed to meet all of her family. She and I adopted each other years ago as "sisters". My Mom loved her very much, too.

I'll miss her a lot and please know I have all of you in my prayers. Lots of love.

Friends Forever,
"Oliver"

I'm sure you will all miss Linda dearly. We certainly will at Oliver's games nights. Linda had such a fantastic sense of humor, I think she could have been a stand-up comic. We would have a fun night of companionship and laughter. At least she spent that last winter warm and swimming. With sympathy, Linda Dolney
