I am so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. I know the heart ache you all feel and tho it’s bad, the Bible says we are to rejoice at death for it is then, that our loved one is with the savior. The ultimate goal we are all striving for. I will be praying for all of you in the many months ahead that you’ll still grieve. If I can do anything please let me know . And know that I love you all.
