To My family, there are no words to replace the pain you are going through at this time, however you maybe rest assured that your sister, mother, memaw loved you with every fiber of her being and you are her greatest gifts upon this world, whether we agree or disagree at the moments love binds us, that’s the joy of being loved. I am ever so blessed to had Linda Lue in my life, for she taught me a lot of things, crafting, planting, family values, friendship, but most unconditional love. RIP Aunt Linda my friend. Ken sends his love to his girlfriend and misses you too.
