So sorry for your loss! The Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Though we will Linda, she is happier now than she ever was in life now that she is with Jesus! Linda was like a second mother to me! She always was at the ready with a glass of sweet tea and your choice of a sandwich! She loved to laugh and went along with all my pranks to Hank and Chrissy!

Mrs. Linda was a joy to be around and one of my favorite librarians ever. I will miss her.

My heart aches over the loss of my wonderful friend. She will always have a special place in my heart and also with all our fun memories! With heartfelt sympathies.

Linda was such a blessing to our family. At one time we attended the same church, and she never forgot the names of our kids, nor failed to keep up with our family after we attended a different church. She was always such an encouragement and help when our large family would come in the library. This was not anything special about us - it was the way she interacted with everyone. SHE was the remarkable, caring, and kindhearted one who made everyone else feel special. She and her kindness will be missed!

So sorry for your loss
- Eric and Deanna Hartley, Richmond Hill, Georgia
I worked at the Library with Linda several years ago, and we became best buddies. She was always helpful to the patrons, and seemed to know everyone's name, which was a sign of her caring nature. She endured a lot in recent years with illness and injuries, but remained cheerful and optimistic. I will remember her with love forever, and I will miss her.

So sorry for your loss. We are keeping you all in our thoughts during this difficult time. We love you Madison.

Linda was such a pleasure for me to care for. Sharing the love of the Lord with her, and her love for her family were top on Linda's list. She had a fun personality and will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to her family, but we know she is free from pain and resting well now. Fly free, fly high Linda and we will all see you soon.
