    Dan and Children,
    First, I want to say how much I love Linda. We were close as young girls in Mount Pleasant, even though we were ten years apart in age. She was my loving cousin and glamour queen! But her beauty extended to everything she did. Bubba and I will look forward to seeing her in Heaven and sharing even more loving times there.
    Our prayers are now for you and your family and loving caregivers.

    So sorry to hear this news. Reminds me of all the fun times we spent as couples together in Charlotte, skiing on the river, and at the beach.
    Linda was so special.
    Hugs
