Dear Larry and family,
I was so sorry to hear that Linda had passed away. The last time I saw Linda was at our class reunion in Plaquemine several years ago.
As I watched the video of Linda and your family, it brought back many happy memories of our childhood and teenage years in school. We had many slumber parties at her house with Maxine Witt Traphagen growing up. Her mother was a great cook and was as much fun as Linda.
As I watched the video, I also saw the love and joy you and Linda had in your home with your girls and their families. You were a blessed family and will have many wonderful memories with your life together. I will be praying for you and your family in the coming days. I know God in His mercy and grace will comfort you as only He can.
Again, I am very sorry, Linda was a lovely and gracious person.
