  1. Our deepest sympathy, and heart felt thoughts, to all of Linda’s family during this very difficult time. Linda was a barber at Ray Yandow’s Barber Shop in Essex Jct., VT prior to her employment with the US Government (DHS). Linda worked with me for several years at the Williston, VT DHS office where we shared many experiences through our friendship and career. I am thankful that facebook brought us back together following our individual retirement from the DHS and mutual interest in gardening. May your memories of Linda fill your hearts with joy and bring a smile to your face when you think of her. Memories are forever.

  6. Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But in time the blessing of God’s unfailing love will soften the hurt you’re feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort and hope that it needs to heal. Revelation 21:4 tells us that soon everything that causes us pain, including death, will be gone forever. We also have the hope of our loved ones being resurrected here on earth, as Acts 24:15 tells us. I do hope you find comfort in this. Though I did not know your loved one, I am touched by your loss.

  20. Since I met her in 2008, Linda had been my teacher, my co-worker and my friend. We shared the mysteries and challenges of work from day to day, but what I’ll remember the most is the laughs we had together. She was always supportive, always encouraging, and always loving. My heart aches.

I will miss talking with her on Facebook where we always kept in touch with one another. Rest in peace my friend.
