I was so sorry to hear about lindas passing. I knew her from living in seaford and always talked to her whenever I would see her. Linda was one of the sweetest people I knew. She will be missed. I pray her family finds comfort in her memories.
Linda, thank you for giving me the greatest gift I could ever receive and that’s through being my friend. You were a light in this world of peace and friendship. I know your greatest achievement was your daughter Rachel, which I am also grateful for who also gave me the greatest gift anyone could ever give me and that’s being godfather to your god daughter. I know you’re at peace in the knowledge your daughter and granddaughter will be OK. We will see you again someday. We love you.
