Linda was a super sweet lady. I am glad I got the opportunity to know and work with her. She was always so nice to me. She always gave me a smile and a good morning when she arrived at work. She and I laughed about different things her cats did. I will truly miss her. When I saw her the last time even though she had a hard time remembering who I was, she gave me a hug and told me to have a good day. Love you always Ms. Linda. Peace be with you and your family during this difficult time. Your memories will gone on in their lives and the lives that you touched. Rest in Peace my friend.
Thinking of all the family in their time of loss. Linda was a joy to work with and I enjoyed her company. She was always so optimistic and brightened my day. She will be missed. Laurie H
