To the family and friends of Linda, I offer my condolences in the loss of your loved one. Linda and I were childhood friends. We lived on the same street, attended the same church, and our families enjoyed many meals together. Life distanced us and we have not seen or talked with each other in years, but I remember her fondly and will keep all of you in my prayers.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Mrs. Linda. I have known her and her family for a long time and grew up with her family at Standing Springs Baptist Church. She was such a sweet lady and was always smiling when I saw her. As I grew, married and moved away, every time I visited home, she would always greet me at Church with that sweet smile and ask about me and my family. She will certainly be missed! Love and prayers to the family!
Stacey, you know your Mom and I became close because of Wendy, not only at church but the days at Hillcrest Hospital and remained friends all through these years.Even though I moved to Newberry ,your Mom’s home town when I came home we visited and the times she was down here and always were in touch. One thing is for sure was her love of God and for you her family.She so delighted in talking about you,Lonnie, the grandkids she was so proud of you.My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Stacey we were so sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was one sweet person. Always greeting you with a smile and warm words, not showing if she had any sadness. We know the hurt of loosing your parents and it’s a pain that never leaves you but does, over time, ease. You’ll think of things you want to tell her and pick up the phone only to remember, but please know that your feelings are heard. May God be with you and the family in the days ahead during all the stuff that needs to be done and especially the holidays without her physical presence. May He provide yall with the comfort, peace and strength to get through one day at a time. Lean on your many memories that will bring sweet smiles to your face. Sending our love and may you feel Gods presence carrying you during this time of grief and healing. Love you Stacey and family.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Stacey, my sympathy, in the passing , of your mother. When I was a member of Standing Spring Church, she was in my Sunday School class. Linda was a very sweet lady. Love to you and your family.
