Linda loved spending time with her one-and-only daughter Casey – they were not only mother-daughter, but Best Friends

Grandma “Hun” (Linda) loved spending as much time with her grandchildren and great- grandchildren as possible; she was so proud - loved them so.

Linda was the matriarch of her family and felt she was so blessed to have the family and friends she loved and enjoyed so much.

As to her family and friends they will remember her; a beautiful person with a radiating-infectious smile; so kind, thoughtful and fun. She will be greatly missed – Linda’s FAITH was very important to her-Jesus is her Savior; as she said in her own words…

“This is Good-bye, I am ok, I’m not even scared –

I have had a Wonderful Life with the Greatest Man in the World.

See you on the other-side – A new journey – Love You ALL."
