    Linda was a dear, sweet person and she loved Jesus and she loved her family and friends. She will be missed so much. I like to think of her reuniting with her mom and how happy she must have been to see Jesus' face. She has no pain or sorrow now. I was one of her classmates of the Malvern High School class of 1969. Fly high my friend and let your wings soar. Your work is done here on earth. Save us a place in heaven and we will see you one day.

    I remember the first time I met Linda. It was at the Assembly of God church in Scotland. Robert and I had gone to church with his Mother and Dad. I was standing by myself (it had been too long since I was in town so didn't recognize anyone) so Linda stopped and introduced herself as Robert's cousin Linda. That's how I always thought of her ,Cousin Linda
