  1. Linda, i just found out about your little mom. I loved Vera…always funny and always smiling! She is walking the streets of gold! Love you and your family!

  2. Linda, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Moms are always special and no matter the age, the grief is real. If I lived nearby I would come to support you and family. Alas, I’m in Charleston now and watching weather for possible evacuation … probably will just be a big storm by the time it gets here. So please know you are in my prayers. If you need to, I’m an email away. I hope the service is one that celebrates her life and her faith in resurrection and reunion! May God give you peace, comfort and hope. SC

  3. Linda I am so sorry about your Mom, we are out of town or would definitely be there.
    Always enjoyed your Mom, she had that Harp sense of humor!!!
