I am so so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. Please accept my deepest condolences Jack, Rod and Lori. The memories I have of Linda are many and she will be missed terribly. Stay strong guys and know we are all praying for your family. Even though time and circumstances kept us out of touch I considered Linda my friend, may she rest in peace.
Jack my old friend, my thoughts are with you. Many fond memories of you and Linda, I share your grief.
So many good boating memories, like the one in Hunter Bay dragging anchor and Linda ending up on the
Back Bay. I am sure jack remembers.
Linda was a real sweetie, always ready to lend a hand. I wish that visit could have happened.
As they say she is in the arms of the angels now.
Hang in there jack it does get better, take it from one who knows.
Xx

Jack and family

My condolences Jack, Lori and families. I truly adored Linda and I will miss her very much. She and I shared many laughs together from our high school days, to living in the same neighborhood, socializing at the Elks Club and teasing her at Safeway while she was at work.. The last time I saw her she was on the TV show “Lets Make A Deal”. She was so funny and awesome on that show. I enjoyed her humor and will miss her very much. I will always have a place in my heart for her.
We are truly sorry hear about Linda’s passing. We wintered with Linda & Jack for a few years in Almar Acres in Desert Hot Springs, CA. Linda & Jack were always inseparable. She will be missed greatly in the Almar community as she was a big part of it, always willing to help…her and Jack put on many great events during our stay there. All our love and best wishes to Jack and family.
There are not enough words to express the sorrow we feel in the passing of our dear friend Linda. Our deepest sympathy and condolences go out to Jack, Rod and Lori, Chuck, Andrea and grandchildren. We will never forget the great times we spent with Jack and Linda going out on their boat and RVing. We are so thankful for the time we spent with her and Jack this past August. Even though she wasn’t feeling well, she always had a smile for us when we came to visit. Our hearts are broken and we will miss her but we know she is not suffering anymore and is in a better place. Rest In Peace Dearest Friend.
Linda was a sweet lovely person, she will always be remembered. I remember four of us in Linda,s golf
cart going to neighboring parks of Almar with her driving.We all had so much fun.
Linda watched our dog when we went to Mexico and was always ready to help.
Her and Jack were soul mates ans I,m sure that no one will miss her more than Jack.
We are so sorry that she is not with us.
My son Isaiah Jones has fond memories with his Great Grandma Linda like BBQ, catching frogs at her house, playing a ball game and his Nana Lori’s house and just seeing her. I will never forget how happy she was to see him and at the last BBQ we saw her how her face light up and her eyes twinkled. She is going to be missed very much . Isaiah will forever hold her in his heart.
Dear Jack and family,
I am truly sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was such a beautiful person both inside and out. When I moved to Anacortes in 1958 Linda welcomed me to our School and town and helped me in so many ways. Please accept my condolences and if there is anything that I can do please let me know.
