Linda will surely be missed at the Thimble and Thread quilt guild. Such a fun lady. RIP Linda!
Linda used to call me “the other Linda”.
She was a delightful person. I will miss her.
Dearest family of Linda, I shall really miss Linda’s quick wit and big smile. She and I sat near each other at guild. She always wanted to talk and explain things that were perplexing to me. I will miss her terribly. I just hope your hurt now, will dissolve into sweet memories. As long as she is in your heart, she will be with you.
With much sympathy,
Cindy
Linda was a second mother to her daughter Katy’s hooligan friends (one of which I am/was). She took us in, pulled no punches, let us know she loved and cared about us, but also set down some ground rules that had to be followed. She is certainly a woman with a heart that knew no bounds and a fiery spirit no one wanted to mess with. She is already missed dearly but we all know that warrior spirit rages on. Light, love, and good vibes, Linda. (now is her queue to point to a sign that says, “kwitcherbelliakin.” ) *hugs* lady.
I was always so pleased when our time at Chautauqua coincided with Linda’s visits!
She lit up our porch with her humor and laughter! Thank you, Linda, for those happy memories.
Linda was my hostmother in 1994 when my german school visited our partner city st. louis. this trip was huge for me. and i was so blessed that linda took care of me. she was a very nice person. thank you for those wonderful memories.
