Linda will be remembered as a kind, sweet lady. I will miss her. So sad . You are all in my prayers.
Donna and family and Chasity and family . Linda and Billy were so good to me and my boys. Tracy Methodist was always welcoming to us as well. We met on their hayride Billy drove the tractor and invited us. Linda was an Angel to us. Prayers to all her family.
Linda was my neighbor growing up and our families were often together swapping out work or just getting together because we enjoyed each others’ company. Losing Linda is as difficult as losing a sister. She was smart, always smiling, quick witted, and a great person. Billy and she were a fantastic couple that complemented each other with their devotion to each other and to others’ well-being. She will forever hold a special place in my heart and I won’t forget what a great friend she was all our lives. Prayers to the family and all whose lives she touched during her short time here. We need more like her.
Calvert family, So sorry for your loss. Linda was a wonderful person. We will keep everyone in our prayers.
So very sorry for your loss Matt and family
Linda was one of the kindest, sweetest, and thoughtful people that I have ever known in my life. The world was a better place with her in it. Rest In Peace beautiful lady and give Billy our love.
Linda will be greatly missed in the Tracy community and anyone else that ever had the pleasure of knowing her. Such a sweet, kind,caring lady!!!
