I think God must have wanted her touch in heaven. When you see a beautiful sunrise or sunset think of Linda. She just might have had a hand in it. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

Strength in knowing God’s purpose and plan for her life and having undescribable peace. Strength to smile and give a word of encouragement even though she was not feeling well.
