I came to know Linda at McDonalds when my mother, sister and I would eat many a morning there for breakfast. I viewed her as a friend and she would make me smile. My heart is sad today but I am happy to have called her friend. I'll say prayers for the family and those who knew her well.

Linda gave me my first job at the age of fourteen at McDonald's. She taught me so much about how kindness and management can coincide. I attribute a lot of my success in life to what she taught me during the four years I worked for her.

It was my pleasure to work with Linda at HRMC for many years. She was always helpful and attacked problems with a tenacity that never quit. When work was hectic, I was always glad to be working that shift with Linda because I knew we would get through it working as a team. Pride and love for her family was always evident in any conversation with Linda. She will be sorely missed! My sincere condolences to her family.

Linda was a great friend of mine. I cherished the time I got to spend with her while working with her at McDonald's years ago. She was a great friend and mentor to me. I was devastated to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace and may her family be comforted by the wonderful memories of the amazing woman that she was.

Linda was a wonderful woman, employee, and friend. Her expertise was so valued here at HRMC in the Registration Dept. Everyone seemed to know her. She was a very brave lady through all the hardships she encountered. Linda was an amazing woman and we all will miss her very much.
