Beautiful tribute to your Mom and her well lived and loved life.
May faith bring you strength.
Don and Family, I absolutely adored Linda and she was such an influence in my growth and journey to know the Lord. Her radiant smile always greeted me and she made me feel that she was so happy to see me. I always told her I wanted to be her when I grew up and she would laugh. I remember when I met her thinking to myself, who is this beautiful woman? I quickly came to find out she was caring, thoughtful, loving, considerate and a faithful servant to God and I admired everything about her. She was the epitome of class. I will always hold Linda close in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with all who love Linda. Heaven has, indeed, gained a beautiful soul.
I have wonderful memories of Linda from Community Bible Study. She was a woman of great strength, but sweet and gentle in her manner. Praise God that she is no longer bound by the confines of illness but is able to express her love to her Saviour.
Praying for comfort from Holy Spirit for Don and the family.

Aunt Linda was such a bright, happy person. Alyson and I both loved the time she spent with her and Uncle Don. I pray that God will comfort the entire family in this time of loss. She may not be here with us, but we have the Hope of Glory that we will be reunited with her in Heaven. There is a party going on, in Heaven, right now. I'm sure Alyson, Dee Dee, Stu and so many others are there to welcome her!
Don and kids-
You all are such a large part of our lives. While Linda has gone from the earth, God and heaven have gained a new angel. We share the loss, but rejoice about a life fully lived for the Lord, her family, and the hundreds of lives she touched with love. May God hold you in the palms of his hands and comfort you. Our prayers will also be lifted up for you.
So sorry for your loss! Thoughts and prayers to your family.

Don so sorry to hear about Linda's passing. Having just lost my wife Margaret I know how
trying these times can be but we are so lucky to have had these great ladies in our lives for 60 years. May the good Lord be with you and the family. Brad
Prayers for Don and family.
She and Don were so special to TR and me. So gracious and kind and helpful to two youngsters coming up in the ranks.
We have such fond memories of our times with them!!!
One fun memory. We had just moved to Tampa to work for Don. They invited us to Berns Steakhouse. When the waiter handed us the wine BOOK, we nearly fainted. But Linda helped us choose a wine and didn’t miss a beat at how “little” we knew.
