From Amy and Cole: Aunt Linda is one of the most caring, loving and giving people I know and she always has a positive attitude even though she has been through so much! Cole and Amy... From Rich: Aunt Linda is amazing in her genuine concern for her family and friends. As long as I can remember she has always been smiling and was cheerful to see you, she was always interested in how you are doing regardless of her own challenges. Her attention remains on family and the people around her, even when she wasn't feeling well. Her selflessness is rare example we should all embrace. From Debbie: She is the quintessential Southern Lady... She is gracious and the perfect hostess. She makes everyone feel comfortable and very welcome. I idolized her growing up. I wanted to be just like her. I wished that she could have been my big sister that I never had, but the first thing that came to mind was Proverbs 31:28 "Her Children rise up and called her blessed, her husband also". She has always put her family first. Thanks to First Apostolic Church in Maryville, Tenn. for the providing the inspiration to write those loving words.
