I'll see you soon , I love you grandma .
I wanted to say a few words about my relationship with Linda. I don’t know if I would be the person am I today without her. To me, Linda was a great friend and mother figure during a time when I was struggling to learn how to be an adult. I can’t even pinpoint the exact lessons that I learned, but I do know it was a constant thing. I have a great deal of respect for her, and even when we had our own battles – I always knew it would be OK between us in the end.
I worked through a lot of my own core beliefs in those times, and here a few results today:
1. Whenever and wherever you see it…Stick up for those who cannot defend themselves.
2. Fight for the ones you love – even if, at times, this means fighting with them.
3. If you made the mess – then you should clean it up.
4. Some women are actually intimidated by shoe shopping. It’s Ok.
5. While, we love our people, there is nothing that compares to the unconditional love of our pets.
6. Be considerate and aware your how your actions impact others – especially when you are staying in their home.
7. Kids, really aren’t all that scary.
8. Love. Forgive. Rinse & Repeat.
RIP Linda.
Dear Rob and Tami,
We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. It reminds me of how short life can be. I have good memories of visits with her in past years and times we spent together. It is so difficult to loose our parents. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both during this challenging time. Sincerley, Linda and Don Hall
Many years ago I walked into my very first at home daycare center. I was a young twenty something mother with two children and never needed a daycare until then. I was very nervous about using a in home daycare. Linda set me down and explained how she ran her business and made sure that I was confidient and had all my questions answered. From that moment on she took care of my two children like they were her own for that next 6 years. She made such an impact on their lives and made a real difference. I could never thank her enough for that. Fast forward 4 more years and her and I crossed paths again in a local Walgreens store. Many changes to both our lives had took place and we shared phone numbers again and never lost touch after that day. Linda always had a BIG Heart, she looked out for everyone around her, never judging anyone. One day a dear friend of mine needed some assistance with his ailing father and ask me if I knew anyone who was trust worthy, honest, patient, and caring to help him make his fathers final days comfortable at home while he had to continue working. It was then that I introduced Linda to him. Such a perfect fit, Linda cared for Pops like he was her own father. She taught me how to love and care for a complete stranger. I know someone else saw in Linda exactly what I did, and asked her to be his wife. Between the two they made a perfect balance. Her love for animals was simply undenialable. I remember when Peanuts litter was born and her reaction when she realized that Shadow wasn't the father of her pups, Her friends dog this little dachshund named TJ was. All we could do was chuckle and laugh as we tried to come up with solutions to the problem she couldn't sell the puppies since they weren't pure breed, but eventually it all worked out and I even got a puppy for my kids whom we still have this very day. The memory I will always carry very close to my heart was Linda's infectious laugh. We had so many great times together sharing boat rides around the Puget Sound while Bud navigated regardless of the weather. We didn't care if it was cold gray and raining we would dress for the weather. On sunny hot days we weren't shy about soaking up the rays either. Everytime she brought along Jake, or one of the other dogs she would wrap a life jacket suited for a small animal all around those dogs and they would look silly as ever. She would laugh and crack up right along with me but I knew if any one of those dogs slipped of that boat she would be the first one in the water. There were many trips to the Casino just to try our luck, and sometimes getting a steak lunch out of it from a comp-check, so yummy. There was this one time several years back she need to run an errand for Bud and it required using pops old blue truck. She calls me and asks if I would ride with her down to Olympia to drop off a sewing machine to a friend of Buds. Truth was, not only did she want the company she also knew I was just as terrified of pops old truck as she was. So off we went the two of us driving that crazy old truck all the way down south. Of course she talked me into driving because the truck had a loose steering wheel and after reaching 50mph it would shake us all over I-5. I think we laughed the whole trip there and back. I thank GOD for directing our paths to cross one another many years ago. My life has been enriched in so many ways thanks to Linda, I feel truly blessed just to share these memories and many more. Rest in Peace my very dear friend. I will always love and cherish you. and I will be seeing you once again.

It doesnt seem fair that her time her was cut short. I met linda when i was 15 (now 37). She has always been the glue that held everyone and everything together. The one that tried to keep the peace. She had such a huge heart, full of love to give everyone, even animals. I had to giggle at her a few weeks back we were driveing to seattle to take D to see the Dr. forhis upcomeing surg. And we needed her gps. So i open the glove box and out falls a bag of dog snacks. I laughed and said mom are these incase u get hungry? And she said very seriously.... No, do u know how many dogs I have seen running.down.the road? Infact yesterday i saw i boy running after his dog and i stopped him and gave him one of those to help him catch his dog so it didnt get hit by car" she was so proud to tell that story. She and i had gotten very close the last few years. There wasnt a day that didnt go by that we didnt see eachother or talk/txt on the phone. She knew when i was not haveing a good day, with out me even saying anything. On those days it never failed i would get a txt from her befor she went to bed and shes say "keep your chin up sweetie, it will all work out. Im here to help you. I love you. And ill call u in the morning" at that moment i knew it was all going to be ok. Its crazy how lost you feel when the person that helped you with EVERYGHING, is gone. I didnt relize how much i needed her till now. Whos gonna remind me about appts. I have. Or whos gonne go spend all day chaseing D in the halls of childrens hosp. So i can talk to the dr? Whos gonna eat yukky tuna sandwiches with me and laugh cuz she just spend $4 on it. And it was so yukky D wouldnt even eat it. Whos gonna hand feed d speg n mini meatballs so he dont choke? Whos gonna drop everything to race over to the boys when they think they are in some huge crisis to find out its only cuz they need a cig? These are just a FEW things that she did for/with me(and boys). I will never know why god took you from us so early, i can only assume he needed one more angel. You are greatly missed. And will FOREVER be in my heart. Thank you for everything you did for us, and for loving me unconditionally. You were more than just my ex-mother in law, or my kids gma, or Ds caregiver, you were also MY FRIEND. I love you and miss you so much.
R.I.P mom we will see you again on the other side. But untill then i know your watching down us. Xoxoxox
