Linda was my childhood friend at Lincoln Elementary School in Duluth, MN. I was grateful that Linda met Gary who was a great husband to her. I know she would be happy and rest in peace within God's hands. I will miss Linda's beautiful smile.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Prayers send to the family. Rev. 21:3,4
Linda was a smiling girl at Lincoln Elementary, a classmate of mine for a year. I often visited her up at Duluth Heights during the summer. Sorry for your loss Gary. May she rest in peace with the smiling Angels.
I am sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times for a family to go through. I hope you find comfort in the resurrection promise. At Acts 24:15 we are promised to see our loved ones again. Won't it be wonderful to see that time come true?
To the Carpenter family, you have our deepest sympathy. She's in a beautiful place. Elwin Babb and Pegi Pyles
Linda and I were cousins. Although I have not seen her for several years. .she was always happy and willing to be around me as the younger, and very active cousin. I send prayers to her family…I will miss her laugh and contagious smile. So sorry for your loss.
