Erin and Jason-
So sorry to hear about your Mother's loss, coming on the heel of losing your Father. I hope you are able to find comfort in each other and your family. I'll be thinking of you; no one can adequately put into words what you must be feeling, but in time I hope you are able to heal your grief. Take care of yourselves, and each other.

A loss that tugs at the heart strings. And the floodgate of wonderful memories opens. With her untimely passing I hear her warm and jolly laugh that she had. I know Linda and I spent hours just laughing and laughing. From wayback we with many others grew up together as dear friends sans family. UNI college days to 17th St. Camp and so many friends, the love of your life. The weddings the kids the Huxley Air Derby.
Sons and Daughters Grandchilren. Des Moines, St Charles and all the very pure enjoyment of life and that growing together. So loving, So Cordial, Such a Lady. How we will miss You. Back with Micheal now, that thought warms my heart and I can smile again.

What a special person. I recall all the great times when the family got together. Sledding at Capitol hill, playing cards at the Big House, of course Estes Park, and time spent on the farm. The family is shrinking but as someone mentioned Linda and Mike are now together again. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
With Love,
Mark and Kathy Shaw

My thoughts are with all of your family.Linda was such a hardworking,loyal, intelligent and kind person. As a realtor,if I ever had a question for her, she always had an answer right away and was a pleasure to work with. On a personal level, I always admired Linda's happy attitude and great humor. I will remember her smile. Mike and Linda are in each other's arms again.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom and Grandmother. Linda and I graduated in the same class from Roosevelt and I thought of her as a good friend. We hadn't been in touch until last summer for our 40th reunion. I am so glad so many of us were able to spend time with her. Please know I will be thinking of your families. Susan Dawson, Kearney, MO
