My sister Linda, had a long bout with Pancreatic Cancer for the past two years and had put up a fight as long as she was able to. She will be truly missed by us all. She I’m sure is now with the past family and friends in Heaven, watching over us all now. God Bless us for knowing her. We love you, Linda.
You will be missed. May you Rest In Peace now that you are free from pain.
Will miss my loving an caring friend. Linda would always be there for you what ever you needed. you put up a good fight RIP with your family an friends until we meet again
I had the pleasure of knowing Linda through Wilmington health. She touched everyone she made contact with and will be missed by all
I will miss you my dear sweet friend. I will miss how you lit up a room whenever you walked in it. I am so grateful for the time I did have you in my life. Dear Lord watch over my friend and until the day we meet again I will forever keep you close in my heart. .
My dear friend Linda,
You moved in across the street from me a few years back and we quickly became close friends. You were such a caring and giving person. You were always supportive and there to help anyone with anything.
My children and my parents got close to you, too-you had such a great spirit-everyone who got to know you, loved you.
It’s been hard for me since you’ve been gone -no longer seeing you working in your yard all hours of the day and night-as you loved to do. I miss seeing you outside and you always saying, “Hey honey” and coming over to speak to me. We all miss you so much. You’ve made our lives better by having known you.
You also always donated food, clothes, and shoes, for me to pass on to the less fortunate in my line of work-with the poor and homeless. You touched so many lives, and you were truly an angel on Earth. I believe God needed another angel in heaven and so he called you home early. You will be missed by all of us every day. We love you so much and will never forget you. Thank you for everything, my dear friend, and please save us a place in heaven for when we see you again.
Sweet Linda, you were the kindness, selfless person I have ever known. You knew no stranger, you treated us all with love and caring. Nothing was ever to hard for you to help with, if someone needed something you were there to provide to the best of your ability. You always had a kind smile and sweet words and it was contagious. You will be missed tremendously by so many. I miss you tremendously. I know I will see you again in our heavenly Father’s house, please save me a place next to you so we can catch up where we left off. Love you, Linda
Ms Linda it was a great experience getting to know you were very very willing to do anything for me, Michelle Alayna and everyone in the neighborhood. I’ll especially miss you coming over and asking me to help you with something then I end up being over there for hours. lol But you are gonna be missed. This street is quiet now because you kept something going, even 2-4 o’clock in the morning. Rest In Paradise Ms Linda!
