    Linda was the most amazing woman. She was so kind to everyone. Before I would leave, she'd say, "where's my hug." I will continue to miss my hugs from Linda. She listened to people and would encourage them the best way she knew how. She never complained. Linda was an incredible woman. I will miss making her bed and making sure Pee-Wee was sitting just right on the pillow before I left the room. Linda was one of a kind, I can't say enough kind things about her.
