Linda, I hate that you are gone! I connected with you so well and Gene, I’m incredibly sorry for your loss. I wish my surgery wasn’t this week so I could’ve been there for you! And especially for her! I will never forget her or you❤️ my heart broke when I got the news but I know how bad she was suffering and I know not she’s singing with the angels watching over us. No more pain miss Linda! I will miss you always. Gene never missed a day. Such an amazing husband. I’m praying for you and your family. I’m sad when I come back to work I won’t get to check on you first thing and letting you know I was there when I worked❤️ fly high sweet angel!
Gene, Chris, Lisa, Shelia, Emily, Benjamin and Ainsley, my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I have found that clinging to the happiest of memories of a passed loved one helps me most, and I hope that helps you, too. Love, Shelia’s sister
Gene, Chris, Lisa, and family, I am sad to hear about Linda’s passing. Although I haven’t seen her since we moved to FL in 1989, we still kept in touch through FB until her strokes. She was the best neighbor I’ve ever had! Loved just sitting there out on your deck talking to her! She always invited my girls for a swim when they’d be out in back. And of course, Junior always loved jumping in your pool until we realized what he was doing so she’d put the stairs up! Such great memories. I am so very sorry for you all. You can keep Linda alive in your hearts forever with all the beautiful memories you have of her! She was one special lady! RIP,Linda!❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love you Linda, we had such fun together. Please give George hugs and kisses.
As a friend of her daughter Lisa, I spent many a night laughing the night away listening to all of her stories of adventures had and people met. It was always fun and a joy to do this. Rest well Mrs Kirk!
