Linda was basically a mother to me growing up. I have been friends with April since March of 1987. She was a kind, loving, amazing woman. She always went above and beyond for anyone she could. I will miss her greatly!

Linda was so sweet to me. When I moved out of my parents home into my own she went with me to the store to help pick things I may need in my kitchen. Along with just being a friend. We had lots of fun times together when we were younger. God bless Linda fly free & soar with the Angels.

To Linda’s family,
Linda was a very kind, and sweet lady to me. My memories of her are little short visits in my produce department. She even gave me a recipe. I am glad I got to have these visits with her.
My deepest sympathies to you all, and my prayers for comfort.
