Darlene Friesz Carranco says
I have so many very wonderful memories of my cousin Linda. Growing up in Miles City we were so very close. Linda, sisters Landa and Lanita, my brother Clarence and I would go to the afternoon matinee virtually every Saturday. Linda and her family were always so very thoughtful and stopped to visit with my now departed parents on their visits to Miles City. That meant a lot to my parents. I will miss my telephone calls with Linda. I was fortunate to be able to see her last May on my annual trip to Miles City over Memorial Day. My last call to Linda was for her birthday in March and I am so glad that we shared that call. May you have eternal rest and peace, dear Linda. I love you!
Darlene Friesz Carranco says
My thoughts and prayers to Linda’s entire family!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family!

I just read about Linda’s passing & wanted to say prayers for all ,bless you Gary. I worked with Linda at Jack’s IGA Bakery, in Forsyth, Montana . Seems like some 15 or so years ago. We worked together a number of years there together & enjoyed working together. Linda was a wonderful person..
J Johnson says
My sincere condolences to the family of Linda Smith – It was not the Creator’s purpose for mankind to suffer (Romans 5:12). May the Creator give you peace through his promise to comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). I hope that you are consoled by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
