Dear Holden Family:
I met Linda thru Barb Salvia, my co worker at Fire Fighter Sales and Service Company. Linda came to our office for jewelry parties and I attended a private party she held as well. She was an amazing woman. The first thing that struck me was that she was incredibly beautiful. But it didn’t take long to see her true beauty was in her zest for life and her enthusiasm for making those around her feel special. I am honored to have known her for the brief time that I did. So truly sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Patti Flanagan
Dearest Dick, Courtney, Carey, and Scott –
There are just some people who come into our lives that although distance separates us from day to day contact they NEVER leave our hearts. Linda was such a person to me.
Her tenderness, and her sweetness and her selflessness and her strength have always been an inspiration to me and I am sure others.
So many memories…hours of conversation …but perhaps the most dominate is the laughter to the point of tears and how often “us girls” would joyously and with great fun embarrass you Dick with our silliness and school girl antics with Linda leading the charge!! Thanks for being our straight man.
Miss you my dear friend Linda! What an honor to have been a part of your very blessed life! See you again and then forevermore!! We will have a blast in Paradise!! Don’t show Jesus the “tape on the face” trick until we all join you!!!
My dearest Holden’s there is NO ONE like Jesus to comfort you…hold fast to Him!! He has you in the palm of His hand!
Love – Jackie
Dear Dick and family- I was so saddened to hear of Linda’s passing. I enjoyed meeting her at Northway and will miss that beautiful smile and her enthusiasm for life. You will all be in my prayers.
Linda was always lovely and gracious. Her smile defined her loving nature. She always expressed her interest in others, and obviously loved her family dearly. May her love for her Lord be an encouragement to others.
