To my loving Aunt Linda ... I just wanted to let you know that you will FOREVER be in my THOUGHTS and HEART .. I just LOVED visiting you whenever me and Jack would be in town. You were very special to me and I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU OR YOUR SMILE. You were a strong Woman that instilled that strength in your kids. You are the reason that they have a bond with each other that is too strong to break. I know that visiting Iowa will not be the same, but I will ALWAYS LOVE YA . GOD TOOK AN ANGEL HOME AND NOW THERE IS AN EMPTY PIECE IN OUR HEARTS.
