Her flower beds were always filled with many colors just like the rainbow. Linda loved animals especially her dogs and found homes for those that had been abandoned. She was a dedicated individual who loved her family and who was passionate about encouraging people to achieve their goals in life, but most of all, to be happy in whatever you do.
