Taken way to soon. I remember visiting her and LeLands first house. Seems like yesterday. What a sweetheart. When my mother passed she graciously took over and successfully ran Allstate Nurses Registry. A real smart cookie. The world was a better place with her here. I am sure her love and compassion will be very welcomed in heaven. God Bless!!

Linda, I was so worried when you were in the hospital and absolutely shocked to hear that you left us much too soon. Our community has lost one of the most loving, caring people I have ever known. I will honor you by taking care of your clients to the best of my ability.
Mendy and family - I have looked at this site every day and I have struggled to know what to say. Words seem so inadequate at this time when you, you family, Linda's colleagues, friends and clients are grieving. I am so sorry for the loss and the pain that you are feeling. Please know that myself or anyone at Aging Advocates will do anything we can to help ease the burden.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Linda family. Linda was my mother in law case worker - I want to say Linda was great help and gave special attention to her clients.
We miss her greatly.
