My sincere condolences to each of you (Bruce, Kris, Kristi). Linda was a fine person who made everyone around her laugh. She was a special Christian wife and mother. Kris-Kristi: You are perfect examples of your mother. If I can be of assistance in any way, please let me know. Will not be able to attend the services due to my health issues and concern re: CoVid right now. May God bless.
Sweet Kristie Kris and Bruce. I’m so sorry for your great loss. Linda was a beautiful God serving lady and I admired her. May sweet and happy memories soon flood your hearts to help in someway ease the pains of parting. I love and care about you. All Shirley mills
