Linda, my happy crazy lady friend, I will miss you. So happy we met and got to be close friends. Sharing life’s stories and laughing at the antics of things our children/grandchildren did while you were at the Moose hanging out and our shared nursing duties at St Joe’s will always be in my memories. Find peace in that beautiful garden in the sky as you watch over your family and friends. Love ❤️ you forever my friend ( your friend Deb)
