On behalf of Louisiana Women Veterans, we would like to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family of Linda C. Sanford, U.S. Army veteran. We salute her service to our country and honor her with this poem:

She is a woman veteran
Whose service was true
And she proudly served
The Red, White and Blue

She gave a part of her life
So others could be free
And without any hesitation
She joined unselfishly

She did her job well
With Honor and Pride
And served her great country
With the men alongside

We're proud today to know
That although she is gone
She goes onto glory
After a job "well done!"

And so, "Our Dear Sister"
We salute you today
A special soldier laid to rest
In this quiet, solemn way

Inspired by: God
