She was such an important person to everyone who knew her. I loved her so much & I will miss her more than anything. She made my childhood so much happier.
Linda was the most amazing woman in the world. She truly had a beautiful soul. I am so glad that this wonderful woman walked into my life and became a 2nd mother to me. I completely devastated. I will miss her so much.
I am devastated at the events of today but I am excited to share and honor my beautiful mother’s memory with you all. I would love to share stories and celebrate her life with everyone. The more pictures the better!!!
