Linda was my cousin - specifically, her mother was my first cousin. We hadn't stayed in close contact, so her death was a shock to me. I'm sad to know that I won't be able to stop and visit with her at her house on Front Street again when I'm in Tennessee. To her children, Larry, and Linda's friends: you are all in my prayers.

I am sincerely sorry to hear about Linda, she was an awesome lady.
Tim & Sandra Steele (Rockwood, TN)
I graduated from Rockwood High School with Linda, and haven't seen her in years. I do remember her, back then we all knew one another and I did run around with her some. Linda had some rough times back then, and all I can say is that I hope she lived a good life, and I'm sorry that I didn't get to see her in later life. But as everyone knows, time slips away.

Tommy & John, Know that while I am not able to be there with you in person, my thoughts and prayers are certainly right there with you. May the love you received from her and the memories she leaves for you to treasure sustain you. Love,
