Bob and I were so saddened to hear of Linn’s passing. Linn was an integral part of the First Baptist Church of Westwood when Pastor Larry was at the helm. Her confident, caring manner and Larry’s bear hug approach endeared them to us to this day. Our thoughts and prayers are with Fred, Karen and their families.
