Sometimes, the Lord just takes blessed people because they’ve filled their purpose early. Everyone plays their own song. They sing their story to the world and leave behind a melody of memories. Sometimes… their song is cut short and ends too early. But that doesn’t mean their music was any less sweet or that they left any less of an impression.
Lindas smile lite up the room every time we walked in. She will be missed by us as well. Many blessings Bob to you and your family.

I was both blessed & fortunate to be friends with Bob & Linda 36 years ago and to attend their wedding in 2001. I know the love they shared together and the happiness that came with their move to Washington. We miss you very much.

To the loving Husband,Son,Family & Friends may I offer my sympathy in the painful loss of your dearly loved Linda. She will be so missed by all those who knew & loved her. Hopefully you will be comforted at this difficult time by these Verses from the Bible: Rev21:4-5 “AND HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES AND DEATH WILL BE NO MORE,THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY”
