Linda and I worked together at Red River Army Depot and she was a hoot. We enjoyed running around together and going to the horse races in Hot Springs, AR. Linda lived every moment with such joy and loved her family very much. May God Bless all of you and may the memories you have remind you everyday what a remarkable person she was and how she touched everyone she met.
Linda was such a great “full of life” person and fun to be around! May she Rest in peace??!! May God Bless the family during this difficult time!
