Al, I am so sorry. I had no idea she was so ill. I just saw this if I had known we would have came to her service. Please take care of yourself and come by anytime. Love Sharon and Wayne
Linda was my cousin we saw a lot of each other when we were younger. When we got older we didn’t see each other very often we were both busy with our families but in the last couple of years we ran into each other several times and she and Al and her mom would stop by when they came to Wells after they went to the beach.
Linda was always smiling and we shared a love for animals. She absolutely adored Al and her children and grandchildren.
When my son was about a year old maybe a little younger we went to visit her. I told her no chocolate for my son but while I was in the bathroom becausd we were ready to leave she snuck him some. I didn’t see it until we were half way home and he was covered in it from head to toe. I called her when we got home she laughed and laughed and said someone did that to her when Susan was small.
She made it a better place by being in it.
Her love for her family and kindness to everyone she knew.
Her smile and her laughter.
Her devotion to family.
The chocolate story I told earlier.
The light that shone around her.
Even though we didn’t see each other often I love you and I am sorry I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye.
She had a heart of gold and a wonderful sense of humor. She was totally devoted to her family and loved her little dog.
Honorable, warm and loving.
Her family.
Everything
Thinking of all of you!❤️
I’ll love you forever, Mom. Love, Stacy
