Missy, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. While I didn’t know your mom, the incredible family she raised and the love she was surrounded by speaks to who she was. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was such a loving women, quick with a smile and kind word, and always loving on her family. This world could use more Lindas! May she rest in peace and fly with the angels as she comforts all of you from above just as she did here on earth.
Linda was my bestie in high school bc ant Greece Arcadia and I learned then about the amazing, caring, and supportive person she was throughout her too short life. She made it possible for me to go to Junior Prom and helped me so much then and always to navigate the vagaries of life. Oh how I will miss you…as will all who knew you.
I am Soo sorry. Linda was someone that cared about everyone. A totally caring person
So sorry to see this. Linda was always so welcoming and personable at St Luke’s when my family attended. Sorry for your families loss.
So very sorry to hear this sad news. Jim, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Missy & Jim,
It was my honor to sit with your mom the night before she passed. Thank you for trusting me to spend time with her. I held her very warm hand and played classical music for her.
The love everyone had for her was evident by the constant party in her room. I don’t doubt she was a remarkable woman.
Please accept my deepest condolences
Linda’s life was too short, God called her “home” too soon. My condolences and thoughts are with the family.

Linda was such a remarkable human being. She was so kind and caring not only to her family, but everyone that graced her path! She was a true minister and did all the work of a deacon. I loved working with her and I loved her. My condolences go out to her family, friends, and specially the beautiful people at St Luke’s Episcopal Church. You sure packed a punch in your beautiful life!
