My thoughts and prayers for the family and friends!! In such times as this, we need the Savior!! I send my heartfelt condolences to you all!! Knowing Linton ( aka Lint Jr) by some. He would have you cracking up!!! Everytime I would run into him wherever, he would make laugh!! One time we were talking, and I said, Lint, you talk so fast it sounds like Spanish!!! He was like, hunny I know I do!! But, if I slow down a snail would catch up with me LoL!!! That did it!! Linton and I were Facebook friends as well and he would call me every so often and we had brief conversations!! Anyway, the last time we spoke serval months ago, I didn't realize it would be our last conversation!! I'm thankful that we said, to each other "I love ya'"!! I kept wondering why I hadn't heard from him? Then I found out, that he was in the nursing home!! My heart was saddened to receive the news!! Now, I just going to hold the memories of him and cherish them!! Rest my friend and enjoy dancing with the angels!!! God Bless the Family!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹🌹
