I have known Linda for a long time. We met many years ago at Walgreens. I was a regular customer on her shift and we became very close. I am afraid I will have to write more later as I just found out last evening that she died. I had not seen her and asked where she was. I am devastated as I am sure all who loved her are. I am praying for Linda and her family. She was such a beautiful person to me and I loved her so. This is all I can manage right now. God bless you all. Christy A. Mattingly

I've known Linda since we were young girls at Hikes Graded Elementary School. She was always a sweet and kind friend who could make me laugh with her dry wit. I am sorry for your loss and sad that she is no longer with us. God bless each of you.

I did not know your mother personally but I do know she had to be a remarkable woman. She raised a kind, compassionate and fun loving son. I am sorry for the pain your family is going through. My thoughts and prayers for all of you.
