I went to school with Linda. She was such a nice person. I had no contact with her after that. We found each other again through facebook. Wonderful dear person. Prayers for family.
I have known Linda for many years. She and I spent some wonderful days together while up Cabin Creek and also at Fort Gordon. I was in the Army for 24 years and consequently our lives went in different directions, and I truly regret that. She has always been in my heart and will never forget the memories we made together. You will never find a more gentle and kinder soul. I miss her dearly.
Sorry to hear Linda lost her courageous battle against Cancer! OUR LOSS? is Heaven’s GAIN!? Many Prayers Are Going UP to JESUS for YOU ALL, her amazing FAMILY!?
May you be comforted by
the love that surrounds you
during this difficult time.
May the Lord Bless your family,
Paul & Connie Riffe
