Am so sorry to hear of your loss. Linda was one of a kind. Happy go luck one of the sweetest person you would know. She will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Linda was a true friend through our school years. Together we tried out for cheerleading every and didn’t succeed. It was a dream of hers. We helped each other through the disappointments and we were always at every game with the pep club. We had some many great days, laughs and talks about what we wanted out of life. Rest in peace Linda! You are home with your angels. Prayers for Linda’s family and loved ones.
