Dear Darlene , I will forever and ever be honored that I was this little runny nose girl that was brought to the ranch in Ismay by Uncle Bud ,, and was raised in the Linnell house where I learned about all those important things in live like Compassion ,Love , Respect and Honor .. I am very proud when I say that every thing good about me is because I was raised in that house of LOVE. Uncle Bud thanks for the visit the other day , I ment every word I said “I will never forget where I came from ” God Bless and Love always
James L. Arneson says
What a great loss, of such a compassionate man. I remember hunting with him when I was little and being at the ranch. God makes very few men like Uncle Bud. He is one of the kindest men I ever have had the honor to know. He never talked much about his military service, but I know he freed a lot of POW’s and was proud of his service. He is with Neva, Grandma, Grandma, his granddaughter and his brother. Rest in peace. I hold the greatest respect for Him, Aunt Darlene and the rest of their family. You all are in my thoughts, and my prayers.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of George Linnell – May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) Death and suffering was not part of Almighty God’s purpose for mankind. Our loving Creator has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25; 8) Almighty God has also promised to restore Paradise conditions to the earth as he initially purposed in the Garden of Eden. (Psalms 37:29) Further, we are promised that the desires of our hearts will be satisfied (Psalms 145:16). Please be comforted by these Bible promises.
