Linda, like her mother, was very interested in the family and kept up on births, birthdays and all family happenings.  She enjoyed emails from family and she always responded to facebook posts.  She was an avid reader and many times put herself in the story.  She was skilled at needlepoint, cross stich and completed many designs over the years, including the picture on the front cover.  Linda along with our mother enjoyed researching and documenting family history.
