You don't know me, but I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated Linda. She was always so helpful and accommodating when I was researching in the courthouse records. We became friends then. She was a special person. I will miss her. My prayers are with you all during this sad time.

My heart has hurt for you guys since the start of her health problems. So many, including myself, have prayed countless times for her healing. Then yesterday my heart broke when I heard the news that God had called her home. We, as Christians, should rejoice at the homegoing of His saints but we think only of ourselves and the void we will have in our lives while she is rejoicing in Heaven with Christ and loved ones who have gone before her. It is God's plan. Looks like He could have made a plan to comfort those she leaves behind but I am sure this was the best option because He does not make mistakes and He cares for His own. Remember 1 Thess.4:13-18. My love and sympathy,
Monty

As a young coach, I remember the support Linda gave me when Sandy was on my team in junior high. She was easy to talk to and a lot of fun. Besides that, she raised two wonderful daughters. I've always loved the Core family and will be supporting you all in prayer for the days ahead.

Love transcends death. Death has no power over love. Jesus proved that. May He give you comfort, strength, and peace in this moment of grieving. Linda will live on in our hearts forever.
