At Linda’s request, she will be cremated at Joseph A. Ward Funeral Home in Linwood, Pennsylvania with a private service to follow.
During our childhood days, my sister, Lynn, was my own Elizabeth Taylor, as in National Velvet. She was my best friend, kind of heart and generous by nature.
It’s just heart breaking that life was not kind to her at times. Yet she could always brighten my day by recounting the events of her day in good times or by reliving our escapades as children, mostly of mischief we got into together.
I will love her always and miss her until we are reunited one joyous day.
I am sorry sorry to learn of Linda’s passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Brian , My deepest sympathy on the loss of your beautiful mother. It will be one of the hardest thing that you will ever have to endure. May you find peace knowing you will see her again some day. Love Eileen
