Linda, you had many titles: daughter, sister, woman, wife, mother, grandmother and of course the dog lady. I remember when we were young, we were really close. You were spoiled rotten and maybe I had a little to do with that. I remember letting you drive my first car (pedal) in 1958 and later I would teach you to ride your first bike. I was happy for you when in high school you got a 1965 Mustang. I use to call you Mustang "Sally". I know lately you were in a lot of pain and you worked so hard to prepare for the surgery. That was to take the pain away. Little did we know the price you would pay. I know now you are pain free! You leave a husband, son, daughter, 5 grandchildren to carry on in your memory. Sis, over the years life and miles between us caused us to drift apart. But you were always in my heart. Rest in Peace, you deserve it.
With Love,
Brother Jim
