I will miss Linda greatly. We had a special bond because of similar health issues. It was great to have each other to vent to. Rest peacefully my friend.

I always remember as a kid, always spending time with my aunt Linda and cousins Johnny and Jason. Me and my sister Tracy, looked forward to going over and playing with them, when our parents would get together and hang out and have dinner. There were so many good memories with her in it. She will always be such a loved member of our family, and I will miss her so much. I didn’t get to say goodbye, aunt Linda but you know how much we loved you. You were a very special aunt. Love you always, Crystal & Tracy ❤️

I don’t know how to pick just one memory with Linda. I think Christmas time will be my forever favorite memories. How she loved picking out pj’s for each grandchild. Jenna would go over early to help make dinner and Jack would go early to help vacuum. I loved the yearly photo with the grandkids and seeing if they were taller than grandma. The last grandma and grandkid’s photo was in 2019. She was a loving mother and grandmother. I will really miss our weekly checking in on each other. Thank you Linda for being such a wonderful Mother-In-Law. I will miss you dearly.

I always enjoyed visiting Linda and her family when we were in Lincoln. We were cousins and just a year apart in age. Linda was a sweet and caring person. She was a hardworking woman and cared for her two sons. Linda so much loved her parents and siblings. Rest in peace Linda and I will cherish the memories.
