I was blessed to have known Grandma Linda for 11 wonderful years. We didn't always get to see her, but that never denied the love she had for everyone. Every Christmas eve was a time we always got to see her. A day we always looked forward to. She always looked beautiful with her pearls on. She was a Saint! A genuine woman who never passed judgement on anyone. She loved you for you, and that's all that mattered. I know what she meant to my wife, kids, and family. I wish the outcome was different. We can't take this life for granted because we only get one shot! Love just a little harder! We can't be over consumed in our lives that we miss out on important times! Grandma we be deeply missed, but always held close to our hearts! We love you!

Our prayers are with you.  Take comfort in the scriptures, and in particular John 14 where Jesus said he was going to go and prepare a place for us...that where he is, we will be also.

I'll always remember Linda as a sweet, kind soul. I always think of she and Shirley together as partners in crime lol. I know she was always there for her family and will be greatly missed.

Remember Linda picking us up in her convertible and going to her house just to go for a ride. Such a sweet person just like her Mom. Love you enjoy your well earned rest sweet cousin.


My deepest sympathy to the family. Linda was a wonderful loving person. I have known the family for over 60 years.  Prayers and hugs to all of you!

Linda was a wonderful person in so very many ways. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. She was more to me than just a sister-in-law. She had so much love to give and she did this everyday, to everyone! She loved her family very much as they returned that love to her. Linda, you will be missed very much, but one day we will all be together. GOD is great! You will be watching over your loved ones, along with Keith. I love you!!!!

Linda was a caring and motherly woman  to so many people, also a extra grandma  to any kids. Rest in peace beautiful lady you will be greatly missed 💗🙏 love, The Rosa family 

You always told me I was the daughter you never had! I have always thought of you as my second mother. You have blessed me with so many good memories to remember, I'll miss your hugs the most You! You will never be forgotten! We had so many good times, I'll never forget! I love you!

I had the honor of meeting Grandma Linda when I was young. She was so kind and loving and welcomed me right away to her family, not only as Jessica's best friend but as a grand daughter also. She always made a point to tell you how much she loved you. I will miss her hugs and telling me how beautiful  my family is. I love you Grandma Linda.

I, as a child "LOVED" my Mother DEARLY! There are so many things that can be said, but she was a Kind,Loving,and Forgiving person. Growing up we didn't have much,but she always made due. She never let any of her children go a day without letting us know her "LOVE and KINDNESS " God Blessed woman with the gift of children and no matter the circumstances they "LOVE" and teach "LOVE"! A gift she gave Me that I can only repay through my children and grandchildren . She truly had alot on her plate throughout "LIFE " but never complained. She will be missed "GREATLY ", and was a Beautiful person and "MOTHER". To All Mothers, I Pray you have Beautiful Mothers Day! God is Great!


Grandma was one of the most special souls that walked this earth. She loved unconditionally, especially her family. I truly believe she knew how much she was loved. I hope she did. This is a great loss to all that knew her. I'll hold tight to all the beautiful memories I have with her. I know her and grandpa will keep good watch over us all. I'm sure she was made an honorary angel the minute she got to heavens gates ☺️ Grandma you will be missed, we all had so much to learn from you. May we all be better people, love a little harder and praise a little stronger in your honor.  

Linda is leaving behind many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I knew her as Grandma; she was an angel in my life, and to everyone that she met. People who have met Linda would describe her as motherly, with a hug that would heal your heart, and a shoulder to cry on when they needed it the most. I love you.
