Mike and Family,
We have truly lost a good friend.! Our prayers and sympathies are with each of you. Linda, Mike , Melanie and I had a lot of fun times over the years. I still remember the time we went spotting deer in my Chevy II and it burned so much oil it was hard to see past the smoke to see what the deer were! Linda had the little laugh of hers as she always did! Melanie and I are praying for you as you celebrate Linda’s life!

Im gonna miss u Linda Prayers to family
So very saddened to hear of Linda’s passing. Linda and I became friends when we attended Sugarcreek Elementary together (still have her grade school picture we exchanged) and then onto Rocky Grove High School. Remember going past her house on the school bus every day, always admiring how well groomed it always was. I also remember her and Mike going together in High School, so many years ago. She was a real sweet friend. My deepest sympathies to her family during this very difficult time. Gone too soon…

I’m just so so sad to read of Linda’s passing on my phone, love lived in New Castle since 1972 and am not able to know these things since so much of my own family is gone now. Linda and sandy were my closest friends all through grade school and though we all went our separate ways I’ve still always thought so fondly of her. She was a terrific person and her family has my prayers.??
I offer my deepest condolences to the Hartman family on the passing of your loved one. Throughout this pain, Jehovah God understands your loss. Isaiah 25:8 says that “He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces”.
Until those promises are fulfilled, I pray that this scripture brings a measure of comfort to the family during their time of bereavement.
