Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to Dawn and Shawn. I am so sorry for your loss.
I have been friends with Linda for 57 years. I will treasure the wonderful memories made during those years while raising our children, vacationing, and working together. We had many laughs and stories to share. I am grateful that our paths have crossed.
Rest in peace, dear friend.
Linda was a very special friend to me for more than 20 years, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her in my life.
Over all those years, we shared countless conversations, plenty of laughter, and the ordinary moments that, looking back, become some of the most meaningful. Linda had a wonderful spirit, a great sense of humor, and a way about her that was uniquely her own.
I will always be grateful for her friendship and for the time we shared. I will miss her very much, but I will remember her with great affection and a smile.
Rest peacefully, my dear friend. ❤️ Mike
