Linda and i began working at Alorica at the same time. We were in the same training class and we worked on the same team until i left to go work for another company. She was a very caring and sweet lady and she loved her family dearly. I pray that you, her family, will find joy and comfort knowing that she is with our Heavenly Father.

My heart is broken. I miss Ms. Linda a lot. She was my work buddy. We sit next to each other for five years. We had the same work schedule. She love to show us pictures of her beautiful family. We all felt like we knew them. She loved everyone so much. And the grand kids she adored them especially. She was so proud of them. I loved Ms. Linda and she will always have a place in my heart.2
You always loved me,you were always there for me as if I were your own.I love you dearly and I'm so thankful that God allowed me time on this Earth with you. The bond we shared over the years is unlike any other I've known. I'll always keep you close to my heart and the memories will never fade. I just wish I had one more chance to tell you how much I loved you, I know you knew. Thanks for always being there, you are so badly missed Granny Linda I love you.
