Linda had a large network of family and friends because she never knew a stranger. She was always

smiling, vibrant, and full of life and a love for everyone that she knew. Linda could often be

seen walking the neighborhood of Shamrock Shores with her special friend who is also

considered family, Deacon Nesbitt. She had many funny stories about her walking

adventures with Deacon. In the past few months, she came to know and love another

special friend, Ed Faulkenberry. The family was so happy for her to have found someone as

special as Ed to share her life with. Linda had so many friends including many of the

with the exception of a few. Mike and Kathy Mills were neighbors who also turned into family.
