I thank her for all the lessons and lectures, for all the beautiful memories I now ponder upon. I have never met a being so beautiful, loving and educated as her. She embodied something so unique and to be able to say i was a part of her story brings me warmth. The times I was facing hardship Linda gave 0 hesitation into taking me under her wing. Me and Anjalyke were always doing something crazy extravagant  with her, God I love that woman. Rest easy you will forever be missed 

Can't believe ur gone this hit me hard..
I met u when I was in middle school used to hang with rosa-lee daily. But u was also my dad's Friend. I remember living on Nelson street coming to ur house so many times .... What will never for my mind was the day me and rosa-lee decided we would tell my mom and u we was going to each other's house only to drop our bag down my mom window and took off to the pond to go swimming Lord did I every here the end of that. U was a great person u told it all and nothing held u back. My mom would always tell me anything political she wrote on FB u would have something to say about it. Remebr those days we used to go to the rebok factory days of funny . You'll always be in memories. RIP Linda

A sweet memory

One of the funnest jobs Linda and I had was driving Ice Cream trucks on the military base, we would eat 1, sell 1, we were on the same truck quite often.  If there was a kid off to the side with a sad face because they had no money for a cone Linda would give them one, she did the same for the soldiers, if money was tight they got a cone.   Now the soft serve cartons and the money had to match and we gave away a lot of cones,  Linda saved the open cartons and made her own special recipe and poured back into the emty containers,  I swear hers tasted better then the origional.  
                        (With Linda you never went hungry)


Related by marriage, Living all the way in Australia when I first met Aunty Linda in Boston  I absolutely fell in love with her spirit. I still remember the way she was straight to the point and I loved that about her. She took me to my first Dunkin Doughnuts and I laughed so hard. She was hilarious, kind and so loving. She supported my career and was a cheer leader to her family. I’ll miss our random messages of love. I’m so blessed I got to meet Linda and spend time with her while in Boston however I felt like I knew her my whole life. You will be missed Linda and I hope you are pain free now and loving the other side. ❤️ 

So unexpected. Linda was my niece by marriage  but she was also my dear friend. She had moved in with her father  and stepmother down the street from me.  She w15 . She walked in and introduced herself to me. From then on she was at my house every day until she moved to Kansas with her friend . She loved to talk. When  she came back she moved in with me . We enjoyed going to the lake and having cookouts with the kids. Linda was a tall girl . I  did her laundry one day for her. She came in looking for her long woolen skirt. I didn't realise it was in the wash. I held it up and asked her if this is it. It was about 18 inches long.  The look on her face was priceless.  Then she just started laughing. We always had each other's back. We didn't get to talk much over the years but we still had love and respect for each other. You'll be greatly missed Linda.  Rest in peace. 

I can't believe you've left this world so suddenly! I remember going to a cookout in the back yard at your house, I believe it was. It was one of the more recent trips, because one of us kids drove my mom there instead of our dad. We would all pile into the station wagon with my parents and go to the Colby's house or go to cookouts at the other Reed homes in Lynn. I really miss those times! In more recent times though, I really enjoyed seeing all the videos and pictures of Anjalyke in her cheering comps and all the funny little clips of the two of you goofing around in stores, restaurants and just about anywhere you were together! You were such a loving and caring person and you are greatly missed by all those lives you touched. Rest in the sweetest peace my cousin. 💙 Zita

Words cannot explain my heartbreak at the loss of Linda, my dear sweet friend Linda.   We met over 40 yrs. ago in Fort Riley, Kansas, she was pregnant with Michael and I with my son David, we were both in our late teens, pregnant and away from home.  I always said God sent Linda to me at the most venerable time in our lives, but we had each other and thats all we needed.   
I cannot cook, Linda use to accuse me of trying to kill my children with the slop I fixed them.  Once she visited me in Florida and before she went home she spent the day making braciola for me, she stuffed my freezer full of food so my kids could have real food for a while.  She tried to teach me to cook once and I made a small mistake with her sauce, she chased me from the kitchen with her wooden spoon, oh how I loved her cooking.  
If you were lucky enough to be loved by Linda then you were truly blessed.  Linda knew my deepest, darkest secrets, she knows things about me my husband of 32yrs. doesn't know, she NEVER judged me.  If Linda loved you, you could do no wrong and if you did, they probably deserved it.  Linda is the most selfless person I have ever known, her love language was giving to others, as long as those she loved were happy and safe she was content.   I will cherish our memories and smile when I think of you.  Until we meet again.  I love you sweet friend



Where to being. Linda was so many things for me. So kind ! She mothered me like her own .  She wiped my tears ,made me laugh ,filled my belly. Lol l she was an amazing cook.  She had no problem telling  me when I was wrong . Helped me understand why someone else would do me wrong.  She taught me jealousy was useless. Staying angry hurts only myself. Someones appearance is just their cover not their book .   . Above all she tough me my worth, to never settle. She was intelligent and strong,   Linda was so funny !  God did we laugh . Car rides were the best . I  truely had so much love and admiration for her. She will truly be missed but never forgotten.   MAY the Angel's sing your praise . Till we meet again . I loved you ,TT 

Linda was a really  nice lady always came in my store at Cumberland farms!! Always happy she was family she would come in everyday and laugh with us and get her coffees she would be missed we love you!!! U build a place in are heart and we would never forget you! ❤️

Transferring high schools junior year, you feel alone. But with Anj and Linda, I never did. They always made sure I had gas in my car, or a nice home cooked meal. I’m going to miss calling you during the day at South, trying to get you to dismiss Anj so her and I could go get lunch together.... or you just getting us out of trouble. I’ll forever hear our italian lingo in my head, which no one ever could understand. Every morning I look at our texts where you told me to “ always keep my head up “ .... I wouldn’t of been able to do it without you. Forever will miss your beautiful soul, I’ll take good care of Anj for you 

I met Linda through the cheer gym that my daughter and Anjalyke  were at . She just loved Anjalyke she would do anything for her , she had a big heart Linda always gave my daughter Daphne many many  huggs  , I’m an old soldier with a lot of baggage  but Linda made me smile a lot she always came over and chatted with me when we waited for our girls . 
She will be missed. May you always have green fields and the sun on your face  till we meet again 

Linda went to the ends of the earth for Anjalyke.  My favorite memories of her were at our cheer competitions.  She always encouraged us to try again when stunts fell or we busted our tumbling.  If something didn’t go right at a competition she was always there to remind us that it was just cheerleading and it wouldn’t matter in a week.  She cheered Anjalyke on for every new skill she achieved and challenged her to keep going when she felt like giving up.  Linda, thank you for all of your support over the years it meant more than you probably knew. 

i remember canning with anj and when we would do hours of canning at walmart she would give us watermelon for lunch and she was just a good soul, she was funny too. she will be missed, and forever in my heart. 

Although I only met you once from all the things I saw and heard about you, you were a great person. I had a great time going to the prom shop and going out dinner the day we met . Anjalyke spoke very highly of you. You went too soon but you are in a better place now. Thank you for everything you did for me as well as Anjalyke and the rest of the family. Rest  in peace. You will always be missed. 

A beautiful joyful and blessed person I did know her the best but we instantly connected I started call her mom because she was like a second mom to me. She loved anj with all of her heart took her in and gave her everything she needed to succeed in life, she also never gave up on anyone and was always there for me when I needed my friends the most and no one was there she was there to keep my head high and I will always love her for that 

I pray that God's Grace's and blessings will be yours in abundance during this time. Remembering you in prayer and asking our Lord to gift you with his peace and fill your hearts with his love

Rosa-lee you and your mom are forever imprinted in my mind for so many memories of my teenage years!! She was an amazing woman! I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you and your family.. 

There’s so many memories I could type up... Florida, New Jersey, Atlanta, and Baltimore. Linda treated me like her own from the age of 10-18, I even called her nana. After every time we competed she would tell me what I could fix and what I could do to better myself. I just want to thank her and her family. You guys are forever in my heart. I love you G. 

I met Linda when I was in the 7th grade. Lost touch when my family moved and I ended up going to a different school. We bumped into one another when we were about 14.
She came to my wedding with Mark (Carbone) and  all of us hung out that night.
We hung out a lot. Doing silly and sometimes stupid stuff.
Then we lost touch again. I bumped into once again at the court house. and we picked up where we left off.
Life kept getting in the way so  once again we lost touch until FB brought us back.
She was always so warm and loving.
She will be missed.

I  met Linda about 4 months ago. She was a take charge lady who nurtured and raised Angelyke. She was a solid presence. She would never give up on herself or Angelyke.

Wow. Such love.  Isn't that why we are all on this planet?  To love others and ourselves through the most trying of situations.
She was a success.  Rest in peace, Linda. 

Paula

Much love and many condolences as you all move through the grieving process. She is only gone from the material plane and will eternally watch over you. While that is small solace at the moment, know that she lives in all who knew her and memories will keep her alive.

I’m so sorry for your loss, auntie Linda was definitely one of a kind, she was lovable, honest, and had a heart of gold and she was definitely a fighter she never gave up on her self or anyone else. Auntie Linda you will be missed but never forgotten, your memories will be kept alive in my heart.  You are an angel watching over the family, until we meet again.
Love you 

Dear Rosa-Lee and family, so  sorry for the loss of your mom very fond memories.
