I’m trying to find the words to capture just how important you have been in my adult life. You Linda embodied all that was good in people. You welcomed in anyone and treated them as if you’d known them a lifetime. I don’t think there has ever been a time you wouldn’t go above and beyond for anyone and everyone and I feel so very blessed to have been able to be one of the recipients of your love.
There are so many memories that bring warmth to my heart most of them at your home in Kasilof. From sitting around your backyard and you relentlessly catering to all of us big kids making sure our bellies were full after long nights camping, to allowing us to dirty your pristine bathrooms to rinse off the campfire and booze stink. To moving into our more mature adult years where we’d bring our babies down and you’d follow them around your yard and insist that we take a break and let them play with you smiling ear to ear. I think fondly of our camping trip to Seward where Taitum and Tayla learned to ride bikes with out training wheels and you watched while cheering. Nothing however compares to goin on vacation with you and seeing where you grew up, we were welcomed by your entire family and we were given a very intimate look at what molded you into the fierce loving woman I met as a young adult.
I think about the laughs, the unconditional love and the complete selflessness that you had. You’ve touched the hearts of so many and I hope I can at least embody a sliver of everything you were. Thank you for accepting me and being there for all of life’s moments, thank you for your daughter My person and best friend in the world who changed my life and most of all thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey I know mine is forever changed because you were in it.
You are loved by so many and your legacy will live on in the incredible humans that you raised, the world was a better place because you were in it. I love you big bunches forever and ever. XOXOXO

Momma, I’ve often said I can only hope to have just a tiny bit of your patience. You patiently waited for things to unfold, always near with your gentle warmness and knowing smile, you patiently waited for hundreds of batches of cookies so you could share the simple joy of warm, fresh from the oven love. You were patient with every child, every struggle, every hurt, and every dream You were patient on the river so you could carry that big king back to camp. You patiently built and created homes, camps, and fun out of nothing and everything. More than anything, you patiently gave every part of yourself to your family, friends you made family, and all who had the gift of knowing you. Momma, I’ll try to be patient until we meet again.
