Those of us who were blessed enough to be in Linda’s family circle feel an emptiness that is hard to describe. And while the circumstances of her death make it hard to accept that she’s gone, we choose to concentrate on her life and the beauty she left behind. Because of (Granny) Linda, we will forever believe in the power of goodness, mercy, and love. We will cling to compassion and empathy. We will see what’s right in the world instead of what’s wrong. We will be lovers of peace. We will value the important things in life – family, friends, and health This is her legacy.
