Linda was a wonderful person who touched the lives of many. I'm so happy to have known her and her kindness. We will all miss her deeply, and it's as well that her suffering is finally over. All my love to Linda and the family. Rest in peace. You will always be loved by us all.

Only met Linda once but could tell she was a Beautiful Kind Hearted Human Being.........Rest in Peace......

I will remember Linda as an intelligent and witty conversationalist, a wonderful mother to her children, and a beloved member of my family. She was like a big sister to me. I couldn't wait to go to Aunt Ruth and Uncle Sheldon's house, because I knew Linda would let me dress up in her prom gowns, put my hair up in a french roll, and let me play with all her make-up! I could always count on her to teach me the latest dances, including the twist, the frug, the watusi and the mashed potatoes. Linda had a gift for music -  not only was she first chair violinist in the San Bernardino Symphony, but she did it without ever learning to read music - she had perfect pitch. Her love of music spanned all genres. She especially loved The Beatles, and a favorite of their songs was "Across The Universe." She was so smart and should have been a doctor, but her children came first. We cheered her on when she entered beauty contests, and even though she didn't win,  she was always the most beautiful to us. I will always miss Linda. We were all blessed to have her in our lives.

She was always beautiful and smart and will always be my little sister.

With my deepest sympathy for my Uncle and dearest Cousins; I hold many fond memories that I will have forever. She always brought me a smile.

"That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."

Praying for the family! May you all be lifted up!  Blessings.

And I want to add my sincere condolences to the Smith and Boyd Families. Linda was so special.

I am so sad that my beautiful, dear friend Linda has passed away. I do know that she is now in Heaven with her loved ones that passed before her. I will miss her so much. She was the most caring, sweetest and most intelligent friend ever. We have been best friends since we were little girls. I remember on one occasion when she was about 8 years old and we were at a neighborhood party and she sang "The Yellow Rose of Texas" for everyone. She was the best at all of her endeavors. She has always been my idol. She accomplished so many wonderful things in her life...and five beautiful children. I love you Linda and I will miss you every day of my life.
