To Linda’s family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I first met Linda at Gus Albert’s trailer court where she was the book keeper for him. I was glad to meet her again and get to know her. She was a wonderful lady. When we talked about how we first met. we found that our paths had crossed many times in different places. I pray that God gives you peace in this time of sorrow.

I am saddened by your loss! Linda was such a sweet person. She was also one of my classmates at CCHS. We have lost so many of them already. My mom died of ovarian cancer also so I know first hand what you have gone through for Linda. She is beyond pain now and that is a blessing. Keep your memories alive and think of her often. I know I will. Cooky Emerson Hays
