I was close to Gig in the early 90's. She was a very special person. I am deeply saddened today to learn that she has left this world.

To Linda's family my deepest sympathy to you all. No greater loss than that of a child and you have all experienced such deep pain, loosing all of yours. I pray for strength for all of you and hope someday the grief will lessen a little and know she is at peace and with her loving siblings.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Tommy, Linda, Jayme, Phillip and Billy. Such a terrible tragedy. No words can express my sadness for all of you. Surround yourself with those you love and share the beautiful memories you have. Her life was too short but my hope is that these memories will sustain you on the days ahead. Let me know if I can do anything to help. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gig,
You had this aura about you that can not be denied. Very few have so much beautiful heart and soul as you. Always so concerned about everyone else, especially your babies. We had some great adventures that I won't forget. I pray you are resting in peace with your family in heaven.

My 1st memory of you was when I was 3years old and you taught me the song (had it memorized @ age 3 and still do) to "Give me 3 steps" by Lynard Skynard while dancing me around my parents coffee table in their living room. You were a HUGE part of my life and having to say goodbye to you breaks my heart!! I hope you are resting in peace because you so deserve to! I love and miss you giggles. Cya tomorrow

Linda, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life for the past 19 years. I appreciate that you were able to open up and share not only the struggles that you encountered but also the love that you had for your family. I don't think you ever realized just what you taught me, I will miss our talks, your laughter and your sassy ways. Rest in peace my friend in loving memory.
