Losing Aunt Linda feels like losing a peice of my own heart. She was a constant source of light for so many people, especially for all of us neices and nephews. I will always cherish the memories of canning in the kitchen every summer with my aunts. While words will not ease the pain we are all feeling, I hope we can find comfort in each other and in the love she left behind.
