    Linda was a dear, true friend all through high school and until she died. We had the privilege of knowing Richard and spending time with them while they lived in Lafayette. Linda was Matron of Honor at our wedding. They will be sorely missed. Their families are in our thoughts at this difficult time.

    Jennifer and family, I never met your folks, but my sweet sister Dianne and your Mom were great friends. Dianne so enjoyed the visits from your Mom once or twice a year here in Frankfort. Dianne would share about your Mother, Linda, fondly. My heart breaks for this sad loss for you and your family. Life is uncertain and I understand your loss. Thankful for the friendship that your Mom and my Dianne had, I believe those visits blessed each other. Thankful for the friendship of these two woman that in turn created a friendship for you and Nina. Know I care and will be remembering you and your family in prayer.
