Oh Ms. Linda....I am still so very saddened that your physical being is no longer amongst us.  Here I am wanting to send you an email, but I have to accept that you are no longer in a position to respond.  Your "traveling buddy" as you always called me misses you dearly.  From the time I had working with you, all the way through each ride you gave me to/from my car, lady you filled my heart with so much humility, love, laughter and food for my soul.  Reading over the condolences that have been shared on your behalf, you truly were a GodSend to all that you embraced.  You looked so good too at your wake.  I knew absolutely no one else there, but I felt your warm embrace as I entered the place and that was all the comfort I needed.  I hope, from me, you received/felt nothing less than an abundance love and appreciation as well.  I thank you!!!!! I love you and I will truly miss you!!!!! When my day comes to be married, be sure to send me a sign that you're dancing in my wedding as you promised! 

To the Harris Family,

My Sister Alberta, husband Eric and I would like to extend our Sincere Condolences in the Loss of your Mother Linda.

I worked with your Mother at the University of  Memphis in Human Resources and my Sister worked  in the VP Office Business and Finance.

Your Mother always had a smile on her face no matter the situation and willing to help others and was the Peacemaker in the office.

She would show me pictures of each of her children and was very  proud of  all the accomplishments.

Former Colleague,
Jo Ann Bell Dinaldson


Before I graduated on 5-4-2019, I had to visit Linda's office to pick up my cap and gown.  She was one of the nicest people you ever wanted to meet, and her smile was always inviting and warming.  I have known Linda for over 20 years and it pains me to know that she will not be around anymore. May God bless her soul and her entire family.

Linda always knew how to make an entrance! As a co-worker, she was generous in sharing her knowledge with others.  I will always remember her reassurance during challenging times, and her ability to provide some much needed laughs. Her presence will be greatly missed at the University of Memphis.  Heartfelt condolences to all of her family and friends.

Can't believe your gone, you are a Beautiful soul. Your presence was so warm and inviting.  You treated me like family from the start.  I loved that your family was so close and I just wanted to be a part of it. It makes it even harder when someone is so Sweet, Loving, caring and such an Amazing personality .  You kept people laughing.  I guess God didn't want you to suffer long and wanted to bring his Angel home, he only loaned you to us. How Lucky are your kids to have such An Amazing Mother. I'm just thankful that God allow you to bless my life with your presence and your Beautiful family. I will miss you and  you will always be remembered.  Your kids are forever in my prayers.  Rest in Heavenly Peace,  if you see my mom, tell her I love and miss her. I'm sure y'all will be the best of friends. Love you, Mommy Linda🥺🥰 😇 🕊 🙏🏾

Ms. Linda had a smile that would light up the entire house, even if that house was already lit. She out shined the brightest of bright. As beautiful as her smile was outwardly she was even that more beautiful on the inside. Never anything other than a kind word for me when I would come from my second home( the hospital), she would say, it’s so good to see you home with her signature smile and I knew she meant it. She will surely be missed. I pray for the comfort of the entire family and her friends, find solace in knowing that through our beliefs we shall soon be together once again, this time as God intended. We love and miss you ms Linda, may you Rest In Peacefully.
