Guest Book

To the family and friends: We're so sorry to hear you are mourning the recent loss of your loved one.  May you find strength  and comfort from the words of Psalms 46:1 which reads: "God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress." Our loving God is there for us if we ask for his help (1 John 5:14). He didn't intend for us to grow old and die.  He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us.  You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.

May you find comfort and strength in knowing that God loves you and he cares for you, through talking to God in prayer, and from God's Word, the Bible. Psalm 36:7 says: "How precious your loyal love is, O God! In the shadow of your wings, the sons of men take refuge." Nahum 1:7; God is "a stronghold in the day of distress. He is mindful of ["takes care of"] those seeking refuge in him." Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you! (Psalm 34:18; Psalm 147:3)

Our heartfelt condolences and expressions of sorrow for the loss of your dear love one. Sometimes words cannot express fully one's sympathy losing a love one in death, simply because death affects all mankind and it hurts so much. ....But it always strengthens us to know that others care as well.......and more importantly our creator God cares. Our hope is that the family can be comforted knowing that God cares for you and sees your pain. May you find comfort and relief during this grievous time, as you cherish the precious memories. ( 1 Peter 5:7) Kind Regards The Dorsey Family

To Monroe and the White Family, It was painful to learn of Linda’s death. I was very devastated to hear the news because we were childhood friends, and childhood confidants. We remained friends throughout our adult life keeping in touch with each other from time to time. I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time. In your time of sorrow, know that God is with you. He will hold you in His arms and wipe away all your tears. God understands your pain, so give Him your broken heart, for in time, He will heal you! There is a great emptiness left by Linda’s passing, but I am certain that the strength of the love that you and your family share for each other and for Linda will get you through this difficult time. May that love honor her memory, and may you cherish the time you had together. Rev. Edward and Catherine (Cat Waddell) Underwood

Linda was my sister in law's stepmom. When I worked at Costco and she stopped by the Optical dept, I always forgot about any other customers. We would literally cut up the entire time. She absolutely adored her daughter and grandbaby as well as Alvis's 2 grands. To say that I'm still in still in shock would be an understatement. Rest in peace beautiful lady. Your smile will be missed. Johnetta Mason.

Linda was my neighbor for the past 4 years. She was kind, friendly and vivacious. And you could just tell that God was wrapped in the very inner being of her. She always smiled. ALWAYS. I used to beep the horn as I pulled into my driveway and she would wave and say Hey Rhonda in that loud, sweet voice. She came to be a very bright light in my life and I'm going to sorely miss her smile and generous spirit but most of all that laugh. I know heaven is a brighter place because of her and our world a bit dimmer. God bless you, Linda. Alvin and Monifa, you have my love and support. Love- Rhonda and Jack

It is hard to believe my dear high school friend is no longer here, it seems like yesterday we were together with two other friends laughing and talking, discussing plans to take a trip together, Linda was going to plan the trip. I will remember her ability to communicate, she loved people and conversation, I can see her talking to God, she has something to say! I will miss you my friend. May the family find comfort during the time of their loss, knowing she lived fully, for to live is Christ and to die is gain! Rest in peace, you have gained your wings!
