Jim & family,
Bob & I are so sad that Linda had to endure going through cancer treatments. She was the nicest person & a gift to anyone that met her. Her great smile made you feel so welcomed. This seems so unreal, we were just all together with all of you & our cabin friends in August. Your memories of her, good times & bad will help with your loss. We are sad for your loss. Prayers! Love, Bob & Liz Kubat

Linda worked for me when I owned Rose Court. She was a very talented designer of both fresh and artificial floral. She was as beautiful as all that she designed. So sorry for your loss. May God;s peace be with you.
