I just read in the Times Dispatch about Linda passing. She was the kindest- sweetest Lady I ever met. I was so shocked when I read this I know she is in paradise but I will miss her-- as I'm sure her daughters will also. I didn't know her husband but I'm sure he was just as kind and sweet. I am truly sorry for your loss. She was one of a kind. Sincerely, Jeri Holman

Donna, words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I remember your mom and how kind and loving she was and I know your dad was too. I wish I could do or say something to take away your pain. Just know that my prayers are with you and your family. Cherish the memories you have. Love, Jayme

I am so sad to hear of this terrible tragedy. Linda was one of the kindest people I ever knew in my life. She and Miss Betty were dear to our family. I never met her husband , but I know he was equally as wonderful a human as she was. My prayers are with all of the family and those who loved them. If I were in Jonesboro I would attend the service but I am in Arizona now.
