WHEREAS, Linda was one of a kind in every way she made our worlds go round! There are no words to truly explain our love for her or hers for us; The word AMAZING is the best word to describe the kind of Mother and wife we were blessed to call our own; Our Mom would do anything for her husband, children, grandchildren, sister, nieces, great nieces, nephew, son-in-laws, family and friends; She was one we could all count on for any love or attention any of us needed and she always put everyone else first; She was just extremely easy to love; She especially adored her role as NaNa; and
WHEREAS, Linda's unconditional love for her husband Nick was second to none and he loved her with all his heart in return; She was forever devoted to Nick in every way in good times and bad; They made the best NaNa and PaPa pair and showed their children and grandchildren the art of love; She liked to wait on him as much as she could; One famous saying after she cleaned up the dinner table would be "Nick would you like a cup of coffee?" They have been dating since they were 16 years old and were rarely found apart; They took care of each other until her last day in such a genuine and loving way as they were each other's EVERYTHING. They enjoyed the simple life and really enjoyed their long yearly summer vacations to Florida as well; and
WHEREAS, Linda will be deeply missed by her lifelong best friend Sue Sandoval; These two knew each other like no other and their bond was so genuine and true; Linda was also a devoted parishioner of St. Jerome Catholic Church who would always be found in her special pew; She will be dearly missed by EVERYONE who knew her and forever in all of our hearts; So please raise a glass in honor of Linda and don't forget to offer your most amazing husband a loving cup of coffee as she would have; and
