We met Linda and since the first moment i felt welcomed by her. To me she was an earthy angel who touched people lives with her loving heart. My husband and i are sad to learn that she is no longer around, but i suspect she is still shinning everyone' path from her realm on heaven. God bless her soul forever and ever!

So sorry to hear of your loss, Linda was such a positive person, even a short chat with her, would brighten a person's day. All though we did not meet often I will always remember your great spirit.

Linda was indeed a rare gem who touched the hearts of anyone who knew her. Absolutely every memory of Linda fills my heart with joy and laughter. She was a true gift from God

Sincere condolences to Orv and Caron. Linda lit up the room with her smile. Will miss her greatly.

My prayers and thoughts are with you. Linda was a joy to know. I will cherish my tea ornaments that sit in my kitchen window and remember you with a smile every day.

It came as such a shock to hear of my best friend's passing. We go back to over 40 years. My deepest condolences to Orville and Carin. I am at a total loss for words. This is such a difficult time. Linda is no longer in pain and she is now with Christina.

Orville and Carin, you must be missing Linda so much. She will be with Kristina and no longer have to suffer. She was a real fighter and lover of all things in nature. I remember so many happy years when the girls and Andrea were together in pony club. They all grew up with a love of nature and animals. Linda was a loving mentor to them and so many others. I miss her as a loving friend and feel so privileged to have known and loved her, my heart hurts, but I know she is now at peace without any pain.. Please take care of yourselves and know we are thinking of you. God bless and keep you strong.

Dear Orville and Carin, You must know how deeply saddened we are over your loss. Linda and I were the dearest friends and I dare say she was like a sister to me. I will miss her very much. I could always rely on her whenever I needed help, whether with a project or some mundane chore that she was always so willing to help with. I came to trust her judgment and wisdom as well and her advice was always so well thought out and helpful. She was a great person and I know our lives will never be the same without her. I could never find a better and more caring friend. We have lost one of the kindest and gentlest people I have ever had the privilege to know. I am feeling your pain and sorrow at this difficult time. She has left us with so many wonderful memories. I will cherish them forever. In Deep Sorrow, Steve & Rosanne

So sorry to hear of Linda's passing, Orv & Carin. We will always remember her smile and the times we enjoyed together over many years. Please accept our condolences. Love Marj & Vern

Linda had a big heart and a kind soul - she will be missed by her many friends and family and all her “fur babies”.

Orville, so sorry to see this sad news - sympathy and condolences to you and Carin

I just learned of Linda's passing. It was such a shock to hear about this. She was such a caring human being and friend. I know she had many health struggles but she just moved on like a soldier.Our sincere condolences to you Orville and Carin. She will be sorely missed. LOVE from Willy and Ray

Dear Orville and Carin We are truly so very sorry for your loss of dear Linda. Our mutual love of horses brought us together , but she was SO much more to us than that. Her kind and gentle nature for everything and everyone will inspire us for the rest of our lives. We loved her dearly and will miss her much. We truly belive she is riding one of Gods horses, in the belly deep grasses of Heavens meadows.

Orville and Carin. Keith & I were saddened to hear of Linda's passing. Our hearts go out you both during this difficult time. We have wonderful memories of Linda. She was a source of light, smiling and playful, affectionately known to us as "our egg lady." We always enjoyed a visit with you both and all the animals. She was our link to the country life which she shared so graciously. We would watch in awe as she commanded her horse in the ring. She will be missed. Carol Balogh & Keith Halsey

So sorry to hear about Linda's passing. She had a beautiful heart and was always willing to help. Thinking of you both. Andrew

The news of Linda's passing has saddened both Jean and myself. We will miss her. Linda was always living life to the fullest, laughing and urging others to let go and enjoy whatever each day brought, even as she struggled, she.loved whole heartedly, welcoming many to her home, accompanied by laughter and a great deal of caring and compassion. I suppose if we got to choose when our souls left our lioved ones , that day would never come, because we humans are optimistic and our life and dreams always include our partners, our parents, our kids, and our friends and animals, so it is never easy for us when we lose someone., Our hearts break with sorrow and we can't wait for time to heal us though it never really does.oh, the hurt lessens, but it's there. The greatest gift we keep, is it the things she leaves, but all the memories, that treasured smile and laugh, her special gifts of life and her exuberance , her perfume when someone walks by and reminds us. When we remember, Linda, our lives would have been so much less not to have known her. We are glad we knew her even though it never is long enough. Orville, and Carin our thoughts and prayers are with you Jean and Judy Krieger.

Linda’s love for her horses was like no other. I really enjoyed my time working with her horses and will truly cherish those moments for the rest of my life. I strive to have the courage and bravery she possessed as it was like no other. So sorry for your loss Orville and Carin Sending my love. ❤️

My heart breaks for your loss of a lifetime love & mother. We didn’t get to spend nearly enough time with Linda but she left a forever print on our hearts & will smile every time we think of her. Ride high dear friend. Always & forever dear Linda.

Orville and Carin, I am deeply and sincerely saddened by Linda’s passing. I wish you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. Linda overcame huge challenges with true grit and determination! She may be gone from my sight, but she will never be gone from my heart - I will miss her forever, and every day after that!

Thinking of you both with a sad heart. I will miss my dear friend forever. Treasure all the wonderful memories as I will.
