My prayers are with you all! Linda will be missed dearly! I know Aunt Sarah, Grandma Johnson and Grandma Judy were all waiting for her when she passed through those pearly gates.
Ms. Linda’s family are in my thoughts and prayers. Marty, Jonathan and Aaron, if there is anything that I can do, or anything that you need, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am especially praying for you three and the granddaughters! I pray that God will be with you and help ease the pain during this difficult time.
I love you so much grandma. I know you are up there In heaven dancing your heart out and playing all the bingo you can! You were the best grandma a kid could ask for. You took me in and helped raise me like I was your own daughter, I cannot thank you enough for that. Rest in peace grandma. I love you
