Walter so sorry to hear about Linda I always enjoyed being around you and her We had some great times on the trips we used to go on
Linda was a dear friend to me since we first came to Dawson almost 15 years ago. She took me in right away and became best of friends. We so enjoyed our time at Twin Lakes Camp Grounds and many meals together. She was a friend I could always count on. I already miss her sweet smile.
I am so saddened to hear this. We worked together for many years. She was a great friend and co-worker. Prayers for the family.
Jennell & Deanna I’m so sorry for the loss of your mama. I know it’s hard. I’m here for you if you need to talk. I love you both!
You will be missed my dear friend.
