Sarah and Heather, we have fond memories of you and your family. We lived on Tumbleweed Drive and you both were so sweet to come play and babysit our sons! Your mom and dad always waved and would stop by to say hello which meant a lot as neighbors! This is a very difficult time to grieve the loss of a loved one so may you be comforted by the love and kind words being sent to you! Your mom’s special spirit will carry on through you both! With fondness, the Flynn family

My heart breaks for you, Heather and Sarah. I have so many fond memories of both your parents cheering us on at meets and hosting all the swimmers over at your house.

Love, Erin (Eifler)

Sarah and Heather,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. I worked with your Father at Douglas County Bank and became fast friends with your Mom as we had many of the same interests. My heart is broken for both of you – the loss of both your parents so early in your lives is inconceivable. Please take care and I don’t have to tell you, your parents were the best and are gone too soon.
I was saddened to hear this news. My thoughts and sympathy go out to the entire family.
I shall miss Linda’s friendship, her laughter and her love of KU basketball. Linda helped me with my dad as he was in his last illness and I am forever grateful for her kindness and caring. Above all, Linda loved her family, especially her grandchildren. Prayers for Linda’s family. RIP dear friend.
We are so sorry to hear of this. Linda was someone we knew through her business, we got to know her so well. Later, after Jim died, Tony began doing her taxes for her. We just had a long term, sweet relationship with Linda. She was a lovely and kind person who adored her children then grandchildren. Our very best regards to her family, Carolyn and Tony Kisner
So sorry to hear about Linda. May the wonderful memories soften the grief. Prayers for the entire family.
So so sorry for your families loss. I can still hear her laugh and see her playing softball for my folks. Could she run or what? Prayers for her entire family and friends.
