Linda. Thank you for being my friend for over 60 yrs. I will miss your smile and your strong
arguments about politics. You will be really missed by our class of 1960 and family and a
gazillion friends. You’ve earned a rest, so enjoy it well. Until we meet again, on that day, on
your side of the river. God speed Linda Kay Lawson…..
