To the Goodson Family,
LInda was such a sweet woman. She attended Faith Baptist Church when I went there. She and Lex were so sweet. Linda will be sorely missed on earth, however, now she is with Jesus, and Lex! Praying for peace and comfort as you grieve the loss of her.

So sorry for your loss. I recall your mother when Aunt Johnnie was ill and my mother (your aunt Jewel) would come over to Columbus to sit with Aunt Johnnie. Linda opened her home for mother to stay there, she was so kind. I am sure you will miss her.
My mother passed away 2 and a half years ago from Alzheimer's. I still miss her.
Remember to lean on God and pray for gratefulness that your mother is no longer ill, she is with the Lord.


Love, cousin Patti Russell, Albany, Georgia
