Dear Connell family, My heart goes out to you. Please know that my prayers are with all of you whom I know and those that I have not met. May you know God’s care and comfort in this hard time. In Christ, Della Stanley-Green
Linny this is for all the car rides in johns new demos so we go for a drive and get our jamocha shakes. All the hundreds of trips to thrift stores. All the concerts we saw together. The sitting around at my house drinking our sweet tea and cracking each other up like nobody else . We thought we were the two funniest people on earth. Like Aaron saying we were melding into one person we were so much alike. I love you honey. There is no one on earth like you. I will miss you forever Lin. I love you honey.
I love you Lin will miss you dearly one day we’ll be riding in horses again will miss you my friend
I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers to her family. May she Rest In Peace. ߘ¢
I worked with Lin for many years. I was so sorry to hear about her passing. I extend my deepest sympathy to her family.
I will always remember Malinda as a caring person who loved her family, especially her grandbabies. While I worked with her in Customer Service at IU Health, she was ALWAYS so kind to all of our patients. My sympathies & prayers to her family & friends. Marija Milivojac
Malinda was a very caring person and had the biggest heart. I worked closely with her for a few years at IU Health and enjoyed each day with her. She loved her grandchildren and always shared funny moments with them. I will keep the family in my prayers during this difficult time.
