They are absolutely gorgeous and smart and sweet and happy and will steal your heart in the blink of an eye Linda. I want you to know that little girl  has that attitude!  I tell them about their needed all the time. Visit them in their dreams, tickle their toes and give them a kiss every time you can. I miss you, I love you.  It's hard, I know it always will be.                                 I'm trying Linda. 🌹

I miss you Linda. I know it was you that visited.  I showed Jayce the red bird. Did you see your beautiful grandson? He his an amazing, gorgeous , smart little fella. I talk to him about you and all his angel family all the time.  Rexie told me about you coming in her dream., that you love the new baby girl’s name, I do to!! Nellie is going to be beautiful just like her NeeNee. I love you and I miss you so so much. Please keep visiting us.♥️

My sister Susie just informed me that Linda passed away.  My sincere condolences. We know how you feel since we just lost our brother Kenny. I always thought Linda was a beautiful lady. All of our Ray cousins were fun to be around. My heart goes out to Linda’s family. May God bless you in this sad time and I will keep all of you in my prayers.  Missy Jennings Marshel

I just found out Linda passed away.  She was a beautiful lady and my cousin.  Going through all our family photos after the recent death of my brother, I ran across many school pictures of the Ray sisters and Brucie.  It brought back many fond memories of all our trips to Houston to visit our granny Jennings and stopping by the Ray house to visit with all our cousins.  I remember Linda had the most beautiful skin and a bright smile on her face.   My sincere condolences to my cousins and Linda's family.  God Bless and keep them in His warm embrace.

Linda was my best friend. She was like a sister to me.  I met her 36 years ago. She had the most kind soul of anyone I’ve ever met. She loved her grandchildren so much and was so proud of them. We LOVED to laugh all the time. I just found out today and my heart is broke. I will miss her so much. She was an angel here on earth. 

I just heard about Linda. I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was so sweet and thoughtful and a very talented beautician. She really cared about her customers. That is why my mother, Jackie Romoser, followed Linda to every beauty shop on the north side for the last 40 years. My mother considered Linda family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sad you are gone.  I miss you and our conversations.  Prayers of comfort for your family and friends.  Rest in peace and give Granny Matthews a hug from me when you see her in heaven.

Neenee I don’t have much to say. My heart hurts and I’ll miss you until I see you again. I’m happy that you’re in a better place and the heartache and pain has ceased. That’s probably the only thing that gets me through the days of life without you. I appreciate everything you've ever done for me and I thank you for all the tools and knowledge you have instilled in me. Thank you for having my back and standing up for me with everything 💚  - Love Russell 

Still can not believe your gone. You will be deeply missed. 

I keep going back to the early years when we were kids. Those days when we raced to see who could roll across the front yard the fastest. When we would lay in the yard searching for four leaf clovers and never stopped until we all had one. How we rode our bicycles down Lillja Rd to "Candy Mountain" and stopped on top of that big pile of dirt, claimed it as our own and rode down the other side.  All those times we were gathered in the bedroom singing those old rock and roll songs and were positively convinced that if we could mke a record, we could get rich. Going to the Granada Theatre, sitting in the balcony watching Elvis movies. Playing with paper dolls and tracing the shape of the doll clothes, coloring them, cutting them out so we could have more and more clothes. We laughed, we loved, and we dreamed big dreams.
Then, one day, we were grown, busy with our own families, but the times we had were good,  fun,  happy times.

We became very close during the last years. I miss our daily texts, our phone calls, and just setting around talking. I miss the hugs, the I love you's, how we held hands.  I know you are surely putting heaven in a tail spin right now.  You'll have angels lined up as far as you can see, giving them all a new hair style and passing out lip gloss !
        I love you Linda.  I always will.

I was close to Linda and her family for many years. She started giving me the Farrah Fawcett  look  my freshman year at Aldine Sr.  Linda always made us look beautiful . Both of my boys got their first haircuts from her. 
We had lots of great times together laughing .  I will miss her beautiful smile ❣️💕💕

Stacie & Family, 
We share in this time of grief but also share in the love and memories of  Linda ❣️Love

NeeNee, words cannot express the pain in my heart and soul. I feel like I’m missing my best friend. I keep picking my phone up waiting to hear from you or read a text message. We have shared many laughs, sing a longs, important conversations, and a lot of love. I miss you so much, and it’s going to be extremely hard without you. I know you’re happy up there and I know you’re looking down on us. One thing I’m really going to miss is every time we pulled back in the driveway at home, you always said “here we are!” 
I love you more than words can describe. ❤️

Linda & I were really close friends in High School.  We were both extremely shy. She always had a smile on her beautiful face and a jovial laugh.  She was mine and my daughter's hairstylist.  She would scold me when she knew I cut my bangs before scheduling an appointment. I swore to her that I would never cut it again. Linda  valued our friendship.  She would also hug us coming and going. We never left without telling each other, 'I Love You'.   She will truly be missed and will always hold a special place in my heart & memories. Praying for Peace & Comfort to her family, friends & loved ones.  R.I.P. Beautiful 

Linda and I were best friends .  I was in Cosmetology with her in High School!  She was the sweetest kindest person.  We had so many fun times and got into silly mischief as teenagers.  She was always there when I needed her ,  we were inseparable.   We cried together and laughed together.  I love her with all my heart.  I left Houston,  we didn’t have contact until the Aldine class reunion!  It was like we never parted.  We always said “ I love you”.  She will be missed by all that knew her.  The Lord got a beautiful angel!  Condolences to all her family and friends🙏🙏🙏💗

We will truly miss Linda. One of my daughters (Glenda or Brenda)  would always bring me to the shop every Friday at 10:00 for a shampoo & style. It’s true, she always knew if someone else had cut my hair.  Linda had a sweet spirit & gave me a hug every time before I left the shop.  She was always concerned about her clients & would check on me from time to time. Me & my daughters are very saddened to see the loss of such a caring & beautiful blue eyed lady. Our prayers go out to all her family & friends.  Rest In Peace our forever friend. 

Linda and have been friends since our early days at  Aldine Sr.High. I  remember she had the most beautiful long straight chestnut colored hair and the most beautiful blue eyes, she was quiet, and I thought she was probably shy like me.  Through the years and life experiences,  we both came out of our shells so to speak.  Linda knew if someone other than herself  cut your hair, I  never wanted to betray my friend,  so she cut and colored my hair, including turning it Aggie maroon once.  We laughed through the years about that , it was only hair and quickly grew out . We never ended our visits without telling each other that we loved the other and a hug. I will miss Linda all the remaining days of my life. Rest in peace my dear, sweet friend . 

Linda was one of the sweetest people you would ever meet.  When I would go in to get a haircut, we would laugh and giggle like the school kids we used to be.  She was such a blessing to all she would meet.  

Linda will always be remembered as a beautiful and loving person.  She knew her calling in high school as a hairdresser and she was a great one!  Linda loved making people feel beautiful about themselves and had a great sense of humor.  She will be missed on Earth, but never forgotten!
