In loving memory of my dear sister, Linda.

Send flowers for Linda Gail Cherry

On behalf of the Society of Air Force Nurses, please know we are mourning with you the death of our sister nurse, Linda Gail Cherry. It takes a patriot, willing to give of themselves to other human beings in their time of need, to step forth and join the ranks of our U. S. Air Force Nurse Corps. Your beloved one will be mourned and missed by many who served alongside her. We will include her name in our Memorial Program of the Society of Air Force Nurses in commemoration of her life and service to our nation. With Sincerest Regards and Gratitude, Wendy S. Collins, Lt Col, USAF, Nurse Corps (Retired)

Miss Cherry, Grady EMS will miss you.

My condolences to Amber. Linda was my children Sidney and Teresa's Sickle Cell transfusion nurse at Grady. Linda was amazing at her job. She cared for her patients with such humility and drive. Linda ran that entire clinic by herself managing 3 to 4 patients or more at a time. I commend her for her hardworking, dedication and faithfulness over the years. I know Heaven is blessed to have her there. Well Done Linda!

With Love Denise Cooley and Family

Linda gave me blood transfusions when I was a boy and when I didn't have a ride she would take me home. She would let me borrow games from the playroom as long as I returned them she went above and beyond helping me when she didn't have to ❀️ I hope she knows how much it meant to me
