10 Condolences for Linda I. Hill

  • My condolences to they family fly high with the Angel’s pretty lady.

  • For those who didn’t know I am Daughter of Marjorie Fitzmaurice (Smith) cousins of Linda hill. I believe I was 14ish when I went to DE for a family trip with my papa. We had went an seen Linda. Was my first time meeting her in person. Each couple of years we would go to DE and stay with Linda in her home. It had ment a lot to me to know more family and learn things and hear stories. My favorite thing about Linda was her smile, she could light up a room. She was so nice an loving. A favorite memory is when we stayed with her one year an I got to make breakfast with her. I’m sad I didn’t get to visit a lot but I’m grateful for the time I had to get to know a wonderful person. I will hold on the memories forever. May you rest easy and have a big garden of flowers in heaven. I will miss you here on earth but someday I will see you again. R.I.P Linda (La Linda) as I called her when I was little. ❤️🌹🌷🌻🌼🌺🏵️🌸

  • Want to send my condolences and hugs to the family! Another angel got her wings… you will certainly be missed!

  • So sorry for the loss of such an AMAZING Mother, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother, and Friend!
    I am truly grateful, not only to have gotten the oppertunity to meet her, but really to know her, in such a short time. She opened up not only her home but her heart. She was a little fire cracker running around making food, when we weren’t sure how we were going to finishing the last three things she made. After showing me where I would be sleeping and where the towels were, she proceeded on to the pictures of her children and then all the other cute little hams in her life, being the grandchildren. I felt an instant conection and felt so comfortable immediately. I can not express what a rarity this is in the World we live in but, it speakes vollumes to who Linda Hill is and was! I later, came to find out that her and my Mother had the same Birthday’s, which I thought was really cool, but she had captured my heart way before then, with her generosity, her openess and how down to earth she was. I wish more people could be as loving, accepting and down right real… You will be missed more then you know! Love you Mama Linda!
    On a lighter note, Love, Peace, and Peperoncinies… to an Amazingly Strong Woman… Your passion and love has made a huge impact!

  • For the Hill Family, so sorry for your loss. I know that Linda will be missed.

  • Dear Linda, You were the sister I never had.
    Someone to cry with when times were bad,
    and some one to laugh with when times were good.
    PS: There were more GOOD times than bad!
    I’ll miss you forever! Love, Judy

  • While it’s been years since I’ve seen Linda, I remember her and her family when they would visit Grandma Folmer. The kids would play together while the adults talked. I remember my Dad (Uncle Bill) always being fond of Linda, and so was I! She was always very cheerful and always had a smile on her face! She was a great lady!

  • Linda i am happy you are free of pain now but you are going to be missed horribly. It seems like we have been sister-in-laws forever and we sure did have many memorable times. You will be in my thoughts often.

  • It is impossible for me to express how much I love my second Mom here! I have extended family, Kim, Vicky, Bud, Clark and… Tina!

    I am so proud to have grown up with an amazing family and as we all know that “Our Rock” as left us now! The cycle of life can be painful however, she has given us so many great memories and more importantly guidance in life!

    There is simply no doubt that she is and will continue to be the most important person in the life of Cliff and Judy, my parents, they love and cherish her incredibly!

    It was one of my greatest accomplishments in my life to have her here in Hawaii and surprise my parents! We simply had a great time!!!! So Many wonderful memories of the second Mom!

    I LOVE YOU LINDA 😍
