My heart grieves for this beautiful family. The earth lost a bright shining star when Linda passed through. She LOVED her family and friends, and she loved hard! Her Gene and her babies were her everything! She is now reunited with her Mom and Dad that she treasured so much, and she is already taking charge up in Heaven, to await the glorious reunion that God has promised all of us! Hugs to you Gene, Jeannine and my little Bingo Baby, Vikki. Wish I could be with all of you.
Thank you Aunt Evie! Love you!
Vikki, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Try and concentrate on all the good times. I’m so glad that Debbie was able to be with you and your family during this time.
Thank you! She has been such a great comfort to me these past few days!
I introduced Linda to my lifelong best friend, her future husband, Gene Czech. This introduction would lead Linda and Gene to an eternity of love and happiness.
My wife, Zilda, and myself will miss Linda so much. Her kindness and love for life made her someone who we looked forward to spending time with whenever possible. Our love for Linda and Gene has always been constant. She will always be remembered for her zest of life and the happiness bestowed on us.
I love this so much 💜💜💜
Linda was my dear friend for such a long time. My heart is so heavy with her loss. Remembering all the goodness she brought into my live every day puts a smile back on my face. She is truly missed.
My heart goes out to the family in this very difficult time.
My heart was shattered, when I received the news of the world’s loss of one of the brightest stars in the sky. Linda was that person that shared her love for life, kindness and most of all silliness when anything seemed heavy. I had the honor of knowing her 1st as a client and quite quickly as a friend. My husband would visit at work with the children now in there 20’s would come to visit me at work and beg to see Mrs. Linda, A door down, always there ready with a Hug and candy for them. She was always there to lend an ear, a hug of hope. But mostly her Love for all who knew her. I am forever grateful to have been called Her friend. This world will never be the same. Our deepest sympathies and Love for Gene, Jeannine and Vickie and all the grandchildren. May her love for life shine down on us all.
I got to meet Linda through my dear friend Marty. What a great lady! Please know you are all in my prayers. Deepest Sympathy to your entire family.
Life without Linda is going to be unbearable. She was my BFF. We have been together for 38 years. My heart is broken.
Linda was my mentor!! I looked up to her for over 20 years!! She such a special person and my heart is broken. Gene and girls , I am so sorry. You know that ray and I are here for anything you ever need. there is only one Linda out there and she can never be replaced. A little piece in my heart will always be with Her and will never be replaced. I will be wearing her signature red lipstick always in her honor.
There are not enough kind and loving words to describe Linda she accepted and loved everyone as her friends and was always there to lend an ear. Life without her will be difficult and she is deeply missed.
I cleaned house for Linda and Gene for many years. She was such a great lady. She always considered me a friend and I her. I always looked forward to coming and seeing her great decorations and even copied some of them. I know how much she will be missed. My prayers go out to you and your family.
