Guestbook
Linda is the vibrant colors in the rainbow, the sparkle in the stars, the light from the sun, and the gentle spirit of a snowflake. Linda blessed many peoples lives on her journey on earth by her unconditional love and genuine self. Linda’s love for God and all his children will be a memory that I will treasure in my heart forever. I am so blessed that I was able to walk with Linda on part of her journey on earth. I know she will continue to bless all of us who are left behind. So I will not say goodbye Linda….I will say I will “See you at the end of my journey.”

Linda had the light of faith so beautifully shared in conversations after church which inspired me to continue on with my catholic faith. I thank God for the gift of her life and comfort to Fred and her loved ones.
My sincere sympathies to Linda’s loving family. I am one of many who also loved her deeply. She graced my life in her own wonderful way. Sally Brenden
