Linda was such a sweet woman. She was a baby sitter for my brother and me for many years when we were kids. I loved her smile and hearing her laugh. She will continue to watch over all of us, making sure we have that extra guardian angel. ~ Stacey Sharp Knavel
My deepest sympathy to the family .Linda was a wonderful person.When my mom and I would pick up medicine at the rite aid in the Cranberry Mall she always had a smile and we would chat for a while.She will be missed.
Well Hoey, I am going to miss you so much! I keep remembering things we used to do and it makes me laugh and smile. It was never a dull moment with you. Shel and I were talking tonight about how we used to come to your house and walk real quiet to the back windows and scare the crap out of you, we were so rotten haha! Give Aunt Judy, Uncle Fred and Uncle Reid a hug for me, I am sure they were waiting for you at the front gate. Love you always Hoe!
I will always remember our fun and clowning around at rite aid and all the kindness you showed to everyone. Rest in peace my friend.
