Both Linda and Bill were two of the sweetest people to this Illinois girl who traveled two summers with Adam. The whole McKinney family took me in and treated me like family, that I will forever be grateful for. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Hannah

Words cannot adequately express how sorry i am for your loss. I have such wonderful childhood memories of the friendship our parents shared. My prayers will be with the family and friends.
Our sincere sympathy to Linda’s sons and all of the family.
Linda was a dear lady all of our lives. Growing up in Hughes Springs and in the Methodist Church, Ms Linda was a bright and loving lady to all of the kids in school with her kiddos. She will be missed and fondly remembered for her gift of love. After our mother died, Linda always made sure to give us hugs every time she saw us.
Our prayers to the family who has lost their mother and father over the last weeks. Billy Wayne and Linda will be truly missed.
I SPOKE BRIEFLY WITH LINDA AND SHE AGREED WITH ME WHEN I SAID, ‘AT OUR AGE THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING IS GOD.’ AND SHE REPLIED, ‘YOU ARE RIGHT.—–IT IS DIFFICULT TO LOOSE BOTH
PARENTS SO CLOSE TOGETHER AND IN THAT REALIZATION, ‘I SAY TO THE FAMILY OF THESE TWO WONDERFUL PEOPLE, ‘GOD WALK WITH YOU’. WE ARE STILL FIGHTING GRIEF OURSELVES, AND I AM HERE TO SAY TO—–
EACH OF YOU CHILDREN AND FAMILY & FRIENDS, ‘WALK WITH GOD.’ LOVE MARVIN E. AND BONNIE R. PARVINO
I loved Linda’s genuine kindness and respected her brilliance in the family business. And I appreciated hers and Billy Wayne’s wonderful leadership in the Methodist Church. What a beautiful 62-year love story she and Billy Wayne modeled for the rest of us! With so very much love and sympathy–
God Bless your family I know you will miss your Mom and Dad! So sorry to hear about both passing so close together! Prayers for healing your broken hearts!
Linda and Billy Wayne were always so gracious, helpful and uplifting to me and to Bruce when we first started our business almost 50 years ago. I’ll always remember them with love. Blessings and sympathy to all their families.
We are so sorry for your loss! Praying that God’s peace and mercy sustains you all!
So sorry for the loss of both of your parents.
Linda was a super lady. I truly enjoyed when her and Bill would arrive at the DuPage County Fairgrounds and come to my office and visit. Both were truly wonderful people and devoted to each other, their family and friends throughout the United States. They will be deeply missed!
Sincere Sympathy to the whole family.
