"If you knew Linda, you knew how special she was. The sweetest, kindest most loving person. She always checked in on everyone, took the time to tell you how much she loved you, how proud she was of you and that she was thinking about you. She made sure to thank everyone for even the smallest things. She was selfless to a fault".
In the words of her loving husband - "She was my beloved wife and my life".
