Linda was a wonderful person who always had a smile and a story. She was a great comfort to me when my Sister passed and I will never forget her kindness. Linda also blessed me with the best Son-in-Law anyone could ever get. She will always be in my mind and on my heart. Sending love and prayers to the Family.

We have known Linda and Jim since the 1970s when we met in Okinawa and have kept in touch over all these years. Linda was truly a beautiful person inside and out. I loved her laugh and whenever we talked, we shared laughter, even in these final months. Linda loved life and her life was her family and friends. She was also a Christian woman, who knew where she was going when she left this life. I will miss her so very much, but I have wonderful memories of her and I know I will see her again someday. Love and prayers to all her family at this difficult time.

I will always treasure the memories I have of my friendship with Linda. She always had the time for you and would listen with such a kind heart. She was so talented as a cake baker I loved her cakes and they were beautiful and so delicious. We were neighbors for many years and Four Seasons Gambrills Maryland and really enjoyed a lot of block parties cookouts and just get togethers. Surely she was a shining light in this world and is now in the may she shine in heaven’s stars. I send my prayers and condolences to her family who cherished her most gratefully. Rest in peace my friend you deserve it.

I am so heartbroken! I loved Linda like she was another mother! She was amazing and was always there for me when I needed somebody to talk to. I loved the days when I would come and clean her house and we would talk for hours.
She loved her husband, children, and grandchildren so much! I loved hearing the stories. So many memories that I will forever hold on to.
I am so sorry for your loss! Sending love to all of you and prayers that peace will settle in knowing that she is in a better place!
