Sweet sweet lady. Even after her last diagnosis she gave me a violin music book to give to my granddaughter. Always thinking of others. Hugs and love.

I still remember her standing behind the piano playing her violin every Sunday morning and evening. Also her leading the preschool in Vacation Bible School each summer. Linda was one of the sweetest and loving ladies I had the pleasure of knowing. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Prayers, love and hugs to Krickett, Terrie, Jay and the entire family.
