I’m so very sorry to hear about Linda. She was such a lovely person and dear friend. I’m glad I saw her last month since I live so far away. She will be missed very much. Please forgive me, but I just put a get-well card in the mail today, having found out she was in the hospital Friday evening. My love and prayers to the family. Margie
Linda’s friends and family, I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers daily. I knew Linda through my mom, Cindy, who worked with her at Eckerd. Linda was such a great woman who always made me laugh with her funny comments. She was such a sweet lady and my whole family loved her for her sweet and tender heart. I just adored her and hope that you all can take comfort in her now being at peace in the company of the Lord. I am so glad I had the opportunity to know her and will miss her very much.
Tom and family, sorry to hear about the loss of your sister, it’s a sad time for all of you, but she is with the Lord in a safer place, she will be missed. God Bless you and the family, and all that knew and loved her.
My deepest sympathy and love to Linda’s family. I was lucky enough, along with my sisters, to grow up across the street from Linda. Two years ago I came home to spend the summer in Weirton and Linda and I were together almost daily walking and working out. I was inspired by how loving and positive she was and thank God He gave us that time together.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Linda was a very special person, and she will be deeply missed.
Our visits home will never be the same without Linda. Our trips weren’t complete until we had our hug and kiss from Linda. She was a very special person in the “Eckerd Family” and will be sadly missed. My thoughts are with you.
My deepest sympathy for Linda’s family. She was such a treasure. I will miss seeing Linda’s smiling face when I walk into work. Her presence will surely be missed. It was a pleasure to have known her. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Holly Deemer and family
Our deepest sympathy goes to Linda’s family. Linda was a joy and a sweet person who always thought of others, even when she would not be feeling well herself. I will definitely miss her when I walk in the door at work at Eckerd. May God bless you and give you comfort at this difficult time. Sue & Ken Howell
Bob, I read about the loss of your sister in the paper. I know I haven’t seen you since high school and you may not remember me, but I really wanted to express my sympathy. Just remember the Lord is with you and time heals all wounds. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your old classmate, Cindi Cooper Stichler
Our sincere sympathy goes out to Linda’s family and all her friends….I was fortunate enough to work with Linda at Thrift Drug. I will miss seeing her smiling face and kind words when I go into Eckerd…Just a short time ago, I had surgery and was waiting in the car for my husband to pick up my medicine and she came out of the store to our car just to give me a hug….It meant so much to me…May God bless and comfort her family now during this sad time…Love, Judy and Terry Waugh
