My heart was broken to hear of my dear friend's passing as I know, with confidence, that our loss is Heaven's gain. Linda and I walked together through both professional and personal trials and I feel it my privilege to have had my life graced by this beautiful person, as well as many of her dear family members. I am a better person for having known Linda as my friend! I send my love and prayers to you all that you will feel God's presence and comfort, both now and in the days ahead. With love, Mary Brown
