Tara and David: You probably don't remember me, but I was a friend of Linda's toward the end of high school and after. She was always so sweet and kind, and really funny too. I left Louisiana a few years later. I was so shocked to get the email about Linda. I'm so sorry for your terrible loss. Please accept my sincerest condolences and know that many of us are holding you in our hearts.

As I sit here reading this I still can't believe it's true. From the first time we met until the last time I saw her she always treated me as one of her boys. She was the sweetest and most sincere woman I've ever met. She did so much to ensure that anyone she met she made a impression on. I am thinking of each of y'all and I love y'all too! I am so honored to say that I knew her.
