I'm sorry I didn't add my name to my Condolence, with the Pink candle: Linda was my Friend and Mento - D. Keith Ellis
My Heart goes out to all of you, the Children and Family of Linda Ross. Linda was my friend and mentor for many many years. She was very quiet about lending her hand to others, she didn't need a big show. As a youngster, she helped guide my path toward success, and if I got out of line, she firmly pulled me back in. As adults, we were Friends; she was always with a kind word of laughter and a positive upward good thought! I will miss my friend!
I'm so sorry to hear about yourlossfor your family will always be in my prayers Love Mary Sims Family
