KARLA AVERILL lit a candle in memory of Linda Leanna

i remeber when my grandma trid to take me and my brother to the movies on 5 dalla movie day but they did not let us so she got us some popccone and soomthie then my brother langh so hard the soomthie camme out his nose we all started laghing too

My favorite memory of my grandma was when she took me to a Blake Shelton concert when I was in seventh grade, can’t believe that was already almost 4 years ago
Linda and I worked together at Walmart. Her light in this world will be missed.

We worked at Walmart together, and found out we went to kindergarten together in Simi valley she brought me a class picture, she will forever be in my heart and on my mind I love you my friend and I will miss you and you great sense of humor! you fly with the angles now rest in peace and I will see you on the other side, love you pumpkin

She made me smile in so many ways, but one of the biggest was how much she loved her grandchildren. They were her whole world. The way her face lit up when she saw them, the way she spoiled them with love — you could just feel how happy they made her. Seeing her with them always warmed my heart.
A day with my mom I’ll never forget was when I was about 10, walking the dogs. One of them saw a cat and took off, dragging me straight into a ditch. I came up covered in mud, and my mom laughed so hard she literally peed her pants. We both ended up laughing until we couldn’t breathe. That moment still makes me smile.
Growing up, my mom worked at my elementary school with the disabled kids. I used to watch how kind she was with them. And even now, some of those same kids will see her, yell her name, and run up to hug her. That's the kind of kindness she had- the kind that stays with people.
Something that my mother taught me is that no matter how many wrong turns you take, you’re still allowed to fight for a better ending — and you’re still worthy of love while you do it.
My fondest memory of my mom is when I got clean about four or five years ago. She’d never given up on me, even when I gave up on myself. I remember her looking at me and saying she was proud of who I’d become, and that you can choose the wrong things in life and still end up with the right ending. I’ll never forget that.
