I will miss my cousin Linda very, very much. I am so sorry we did not have more family gatherings, but as we grow older with families of our own, these occasions get fewer and far between. No matter how much time had gone by, a gathering which included Linda was always one with lot of laughs and of course, the bad jokes (it must run in the family). I will remember mostly Linda's great big smile (which always reminded me of Aunt Moretta), and her wonderful sense of humor, and of course the laughter.
Because of the 10 inches of snow we have out here on the Key Peninsula, I will not be able to attend the memorial service, but I will be there in spirit, and please know you all are in my prayers. I have lots of great memories of Linda. She offered unconditional love, which was mutual. We cannot chose our family members and I feel blessed that Linda was my cousin.##imported-begin##Cindy Middleton##imported-end##
