For John Sr., Mrs. House, John, & Tim,
It has been a long time since I have spoken with any of you. I came across a website which featured your family. I am not to say this is the first time I have thought of you in years, yet a moment I could say I have thought of you all. Remember the times, so shall we all. I wish I could have found contact with beforehand. My belated condolences. Take care everyone.

We shall always remember and hold Linda in high esteem for her efforts as a driving force and implementator behind the BHS class of '54 reunions which we had the pleasure of attending every five years. May she rest in peace for the joy and pleasure she brought to so many others.
We offer our deepest sympathy to all of Linda's relatives and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. I know she was battling hard. She was a very sweet and caring person. I knew her when our children were in school at Lincoln Heights and we spent a lot of time together. We lost touch when she moved. I was glad to see her when she visited church with her family. I am in Florida so unable to attend services, but my prayers are with her family. A friend, Darlene

Whether you remember me or not, I wanted you to know that all of you are in my prayers and thoughts. I have fond memories of your mom. Growing up with all of you, being the " kids from Lincoln Hts" your mom was a big part of that time in our childhood. She was the sweetest person who always took the time to say hi and make each child feel special. She will be missed by all who knew her and known as someone who touched many lives. She will live on in your hearts. Gods peace to all of you.

I wanted to write telling you I'm sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Linda & I graduated in 1954. My sisters are Elaine Hansen & Gayla Robinson.
As teenagers, Linda along with a number of our friends had slumber parties at each of our houses. Over the years, I have attended each class reunion from our 5th to our 50th. I believe Linda has attended everyone, too.
I noted she had just had a birthday in December.
God bless. Trust the Lord will comfort your hearts.
