Heather - Jan 18, 2026
I’m so sorry for the loss of this precious woman. I first met Linda when I was in middle school. She was a lunch lady at Shiloh schools and I always looked forward to her smile. Later on in life, I got to know her personally and spent many years at church with her. Throughout the years she would always attend my special events and send me loving cards during important moments in my life. I loved her like family and I am comforted to know that she is no longer suffering and is the arms of Jesus. We still make her sweet potato casserole every Thanksgiving 🥰 She will be greatly missed by all. Prayers of comfort for her family.
