Jodi I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother I was reading the obituary and was surprised to see the things that matched my mother’s they both had 2 children a daughter who lives in Wampum and a son who lives in Greensburg and charitable donations to be made to there churches. I Know that we will both have memorable moments of our Mom’s to keep us both going on.
Thank everyone for the kind words, thoughts, caring, phone calls and prayers during the past couple of weeks. Linda’s passing is the most difficult event I have ever had to face. I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without the support of family and close friends. I love and appreciate each and every one of you! My family and friends are the VERY BEST! Dale
