To the family and friends of Linda:
"Blessed Lord, I ask your strength be sent to those who need it to honor the passing of my cousin, Linda." I wish for all of us to remember her, not as her recent illness presented her, but as the joyful, vibrant and nymthful soul that she was in her happiest moments.
We played together in our youths. She was a curious, mischevious, and generous friend--and loyal. As years accumulated, we were not always in close contact but I know this from my heart's bottom: She loved her people, her home and her animals. She loved to engage her world and overcame many challenges that would have tested the saintliest saint and she was always ready for a brand new day, usually with a smile and a twinkle in her eye, even on darker days. To honor her, I ask that each of you remember, first: the joy she brought into your lives, and second, remember to share that kind of joy with others in your future. She would have loved that most. Best wishes to you all. Darlene Carver##imported-begin##Jim and Darlene Carver##imported-end##
