    I was so touched by your collection of beautiful photos of Linda’s life! Her love of her family growing up, her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchild and friends is so evident in every snapshot of her life. Her legacy will never end!
    I have such fond memories of visiting her in our “middle school” years in the summertime. I remember laughing so hard that my belly hurt! We had another chance to visit when Linda, Rick and the kids came to Virginia for a visit. Smiles all around!
    Linda, you had a wonderful life filled with love and family. God bless you.
    Love, your cousin Kim
