Terra Hyytinen (Wichmann) says
My heart is broken over the news of Linda’s passing. Words truly cannot express the love I have always had for her. So many memories I have with her and will always cherish. Our daily games of Phase 10, learning to drive “a stick” with her Dodge Stratus RT, or our mutual love for the Vikings “SKOL”! Linda touched my life in a way I never could have imagined.
My deepest sympathies to Pat, Adam, and Tweeter and the rest of the Crain/Frank family…my heart is breaking for all of you.
Linda was truly an amazing mom and wonderful person. She will always have a place in my heart and I will miss her…so much!
