Linda and I have known each other since the fourth grade. We went all through high school and college as close friends. Having witnessed the love shown between Linda and Alan (Butch) I know this will be a difficult time for him, as well as Doug, Julie and their children.
Please know that my heart and thoughts are with all of you as you deal with your loss. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the service, except in spirit.
May your fond memories of Linda be a comfort now and in the future.
I will be in touch when I return to Memphis. Bobby Ross
May warm love comfort you. Love, Jim & Pam
