Aunt Linda was such a full of life person. My brothers and I always loved sleep overs at uncle Allen and Aunt Linda’s. We would stay up all night with Kim and Shelly and she never said a word. It had been too long, and I guess that was my fault. It was good to see family that had been living their own lives and know that everyone is doing well. Good bye Aunt Linda. I will remember you often. Laura
I will always love you shorterthanme

The first time I met Linda was when we were learning the lantern project. She is a wonderful woman. Her and Al made you feel at home from the time that you got there until you left. I called her daughter one time as my husband and i was going to the Island because I told him how beautiful it was there. Linda told Shelly to make sure we try this place and where the best antique stores were. Al and Linda definitely made a lasting impression on me. My prayers are with all of you and Thank you for the honor of knowing Linda if even only for a short time.
God Bless you all!

I recall the first time I met Linda, she was in the shop on the Island sodering LED’s. Somehow, I could tell she was ready to do other things with her time. I’m glad we were able to relieve her of that task.
I know it’s hard for all of the family, a great wife, mother and grandmother has been lost.
I’ve always thought the “Island” to be a special place. However she is in an even more special place now. Our thoughts are with you all.

I only had the chance to meet Linda a few times. She reminded me of a ray of sunshine, always a smile on her face! My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
God Bless,
