I have fond memories of your dad and mom
We had lots of laughter and lots of tears
but, the laughters over weighed the tears.
We never understand why our loved loves
are taken from us but their in a much better
place then we are.
Eddie I believe your mom and dad are finally
resting together.
Love ya Aunt Barb and Uncle Bob

Bob, Ed, Chris and family, I am truely sorry for your loss, this has been such a trying year for you all. Linda lived the life that God intended her to led. Her path was filled with ups and downs, although, her journey may be over, her memory will live on forever. She touched the lives of many and helped anyone she came into contact with. Linda was a terrific, loving, and compassionate lady whose heart was filled with gold. I will always appreciate the support and kindness that Linda has given to me and my daughters.

Bob, Thinking of you and your large family. Her picture and smile says it all. Anyone that met her, knew they would be greeted warmly. I can hear her laughing right now, when I think of her.
