She very much looked forward to the resurrection, and seeing her loved ones who have passed. Linda also loved the outdoors, animals, and mostly her 3 cats; Jubal, Cisco, an Autumn. She loved painting, crafting, shopping, and above all giving gifts and special items to the ones she loved. She was known to those who knew her as a kind, loving, and funny individual.

I hope to see you in paradise very soon.” Linda’s daughters cared for her in her final days and were with her when she peacefully passed away. When I’m Gone When to the end of my Journey And I travel my last weary mile, Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And only remember the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; Remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I have had loads of fun. Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles And won, ere close the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay, And come in the shade of evening When the sun paints the sky in the west. Stand for a few moments beside me, And remember only my best.
