So sorry to hear about Linda.
It’s the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you’ll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles.
You are in out thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathy.

Dear Jessie, Greg and families
I was saddened to learn of Linda’s passing. I have wonderful memories of a kind, thoughtful, clever girl at Herronton School; and of a caring Mom when I knew her and her young family within the Vulcan community. I’m sorry that I will be in the US at the time of her service and thus will be unable to attend. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Leslie Cooke
