I find this very difficult to do since I have so many memories of Linda particularly when she lived here in Georgia for a short time. I've always known Linda to always see the bright side of everything. Always positive and unassuming. Yes, she loved animals and when she lived in Georgia, Gretchen was her baby. I've also always known Linda to speak so highly of her children and grand kids. Another thing I will always remember about Linda is that she never let money, possessions, or the like rob her of the joys of life and what life had to offer.These things were always secondary to her and her outlook on life. Although I will miss her greatly, the memories will will never away. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven Linda where we will have more time to talk about the memories.
