I am so sorry for your loss; Linda was a good friend and near neighbor where grew up. I didn't know she became an RN, but I always knew she had a caregivers heart. You and your family are in my prayers.

Message from Dawn & Jack

Jack & I are so very sorry for the loss of Linda...She was a great friend...so kind, caring, and compassionate. She always found the best in people and was uplifting. She loved her family so much. She was dealt a tough hand in these last few years and took it gracefully...never complaining. We are blessed to have had Linda in our lives...She is in a much better place with our Lord and her family & friends that went before her. She is breathing easy now!!! We will be praying for the family that God will comfort all of you and wrap His arms around you. Lean on Him in times of sadness and He will lift you up. God bless you all always....💜🙏🏼💜

To the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. I did not know Linda but I do know Renee and if Linda was half the lady that Renee is I am sure that I would have loved her. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I am uplifting your family at this time.

Message from Dev and Jessie Gandhi of Seven Lakes, NC

We extent our heartfelt condolences to the family. We pray to the almighty God to provide peace and comfort to the departed soul. We cherished the time as neighbors on Groomsbridge Court. Linda's love for our little boys was abundant and both Linda and Tommy always brightened their birthdays and Christmas season.

I showed up on the NICU "doorstep" just to Check it out. I had recently moved here and had worked in NICU before. Linda brought me in showed me around then offered me a casual position. She was so welcoming. I had many years with her as my manager at Wake Med then at Rex both as Newborn Specialists (on opposite shifts). I went to visit her prior to moving to Hawaii and just loved the area and drive out to her house so much (cows, horses, chickens...) that we moved out here when we moved back. That was wonderful because it allowed me to reconnect and have time these last two years with Linda. She was compassion at it's best. Visiting with her on Wednesday, as bad as she felt, she still was asking about others and excited for the good things in their lives. 😢I will miss her very very much. My Prayers, Thoughts, and Love are with Tommy, Amber, Chad, Melanie as well as all the rest of the family.

A beautiful tribute for a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul 💞 Dearest Linda, it was my deepest pleasure to have met one of Dawn's best friends. She spoke of you often and I was so happy when I finally had the chance to meet both you and Tommy. What darling people you both are. Your pain has ended and peace with our Lord has begun. It is my prayer that Tommy and the family find comfort in that, and that you visit often to ease their sense of loss. Rest in peace dear Linda. You are loved and will be missed in the physical sense, but your life will live on in those who love you!

Message from Martha Waldrep

I did not find out about Linda until Thursday, just after having had oral surgery. I am so sorry Don and I could not be there. Linda was always one of the "sweet cousins." She was always smiling and always tried to be helpful. She will be so greatly missed. Prayers for her family. We love you.
