So many memories - Linda babysat me from the time I was 4 - 10 y/o. Lori, Todd,
& I played outside, went on adventures, and loved to chase the ice cream man with the change from our dixie cup. Our families often spent the holidays together with lots of food and fun. The time I spent with Linda & family encompasses some of the best years of my life. She will be sorely missed.

Linda and I met while working at Eitel ‘s bakery after graduating from high school in 1961. Linda had become one of the founding members in “Pat Boone’s” fan club and I was able to meet him with her several times when he was in the Michigan area. We were in each other’s weddings and my late husband and I were godparents to her daughter Lori. A number of years ago Linda and I and her granddaughter Brianna went to Spokane to visit Lori. She was having a lot of trouble getting around due to her severe rheumatoid arthritis and a few years later went to live with Lori. We tried to stay in touch but sadly time had a way of getting away from us. I will miss my good friend.

Linda was a very special lady. We will always remember her sense of humor, her baking skills and her belief in God.
She would call our son, Chad, all the time to come fix their VCR programming. She'd pay him with her famous baked beans. He now makes "Linda's Beans" for many occasions and receives many compliments.
I was in the hospital once and she sent John with some of her sugar cookies. They were like heaven on earth. I didn't want to share them.
She babysat for our kids many years ago, hosted our daughter's 16th birthday and a wedding shower several years later.
She was a wonderful neighbor, friend and fellow Coloma UMC member. She is missed.
