Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Condolences to the family. I worshiped with Linda in her growing up years at Calvary Methodist Church. Also knew and worshiped with the entire Mitchell family. God Bless.
So sorry for you loss. Praying for you all. Angie Daniel
My best friend, my confidant my wonderful sister, I will miss you enormously. I know you are in heaven with your beloved Jimmy and our family which is cause for great celebration. Thank you for always being there for me. Love Gloria
Linda was a cousin, a friend, my college roommate, a fellow teacher. We shared childhood visits on Sundays and our college years but always stayed in touch. I am sad she is no longer with us, but will always remember her laugh. For Gloria in particular I am sad as they shared so much.
I knew her as Ms. Fuller and she taught me math in 9th grade at Nash Central Junior high. I remember her kindness and sense of humor the most. Role models like her inspired me to become a teacher and I now have my Ph.D in Education and have started my own school in rural Nicaragua. Please know her legacy lives on. I try to treat all students with the same kindness she showed us. My sincere condolences.
Our hearts go out to the family of a beloved friend , cousin and classmate. Linda was always such a sweet lady with a big heart and we will truly miss her.
My heart and prayers go out to the family and friends. So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. I graduated with Linda and it is always sad whenever we lose a classmate. May God Bless each of you.
A lot of people’s lives have been changed because of Linda’s love and dedication….including mine. I already miss her.
You were the best coworker ever, and the kids loved you so much.
My sincere condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort give you the comfort you need to endure this difficult time and the days ahead (2 Corinthians 13,4)
I remember Linda as a sweet, kind, caring sister to my classmate Gloria She treated everyone with love & respect and I know her family will miss her. God has her in His hands & she has the new body she was promised…free from pain. My condolences & prayers to her family.
