So sorry to hear of Ms. Linda's passing! She was such a sweet lady! I worked with her for a couple of years. She once asked my favorite colors and came back with a beautiful throw she made for me. Even after I changed jobs, she always greeted me with a smile and asked how I was. My prayers are with her family!

You have suffered Aunt Linda long enough,
You were brave strong and tough.
The battle you fought was long and hard,
But it’s okay auntie let go and let God.
It has hurt all of us when you left that day,
It left me broken hearted with nothing to say.
I don’t want to be selfish say please don’t leave,
Because I did not want to hurt or grieve.
I know in my heart you are in a better place,
But I swear I am going to miss your beautiful face.
I am going to miss the talks we would have,
And the stories I would tell that would make you laugh.
God just needed you to come home,
Yes we know it has made your family sore.
You will always be remembered every single day,
From the smile on your face to the things you would say.
You have taken your space in heaven right where you belong,
Right up there with Uncle Otto, grandparents and your mom and dad.
Yes we all know that we need to be strong,
But through our family your memory will live on.
You don’t need to fight anymore just let go and let God,
While you were here on earth you did your job.
You did your part to keep family together,
that’s why you will remain in our hearts always and forever. We love you Aunt Shirley, Norma &Mike Rolader
