L.M., Lance and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was like a second mom to me in high school. Linda was so kind and friendly to me. Working on the farm, she would always look out for us and fix great meals to bring to the field. She laughed when I goofed up on the farm, but helped calm L.M. so I was invited back the next day. Years later, after I went off to college and would come back to Caldwell, Linda was a friendly face, a great smile and was interested and concerned about me. I will miss her.

L.M., Lance, and family: My memories of Linda go back so many, many years when she and my cousin Nancy were childhood friends. She was always so gracious, even then, because I always got to go along when they had a "playday". Then Lance, you came along and you and Kim spent your first years of school together. It always seemed as if your mom and I were always teamed up for those classroom events.
I will miss her. She was a treasure. Our hearts go out to all of you and our prayers for comfort grace our thoughts! Hugs!!
