When our son passed away, Linda painted a picture, and sent it to us, of a boy on a horse, taking it easy. that bought peace and comfort to our hearts.

Oh how sad I feel seeing this. I just talked with Linda several days ago. We had such a long wonderful conversation. We were Seniors ant Davis High together and I knew her but we didn't get really aquainted until later when she joined our Welby DUP Camp and we found out we were also cousin's both Charles C Rich Descendants. My Great Aunt Fonda Rigby was also married to her grandfather. We lost touch with each other for a few years and got back together when she attended a performance our WJ Senior Band did at Legacy. I was so excited to find her again. Now I'll just have to wait for another reunion on the other side to hug her again My prayers and love to her family. We will miss her until we meet again.
It's hard believing Linda is gone. God bless you and your family.
I'll miss you, Gram. Sending lots of love.
