I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was a joy to work with, always brought laughter when she called me or talked with me. She loved her grandchildren–would accuse me of costing her money whenever she would be surveying near where they live. Oh how she loved to go to the bull riding rodeos. She has brought joy to heaven I know.

My heart has been very saddened to hear of my dearest coworker {Linda} passing. I can’t began to tell you how much I’m going to miss her. Casey, Adam, Nicole and ” The Darling Grandkids’ as she would affectionately say. I feel as though I have met you before because Linda talked about you so much.
She was motherly to me at work . She took me under her wings and taught me so much. I will miss her greatly! I find Peace and Consolation in knowing that she is Resting In The Lord.
I will continue to Pray that God give you strength to endure such a trial at this time in your life. Linda I am looking forward to the day we reunite in Heaven. I know you will have so many stories to tell me. Take Your Rest My Friend! Loved You So Much

Words cannot express the loss felt at this time. My sympathy goes out to Casey, Adam and those beloved grandchildren that she so adored. I will continue praying for you through such a time of sorrow. I worked with Linda for the last 10 years. She was a joy. My consolation and strength at this time is knowing that she is in a place of comfort and forever loving joy now and that one day we will see her again.

Casey & Adam I was so sorry to just hear about your Mom today. So sorry I missed the service. Your Mom and I had so much fun working together. She was a really good friend to me and was so good to me while I was sick. I know you will miss her so much but
you two were always the sparkles in her eyes!
