Monticello, AR Sunday, August 9, 2009 The world wont be the same without Ms. Linda. One of the last things she told me after her leg was removed was that she had a new job......working at I-HOP. Only Linda would take a bad situation and make it better. Our loss here on earth is heaven's gain. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with your entire family.Renee Vaulner Haskin

Bentonville, AR Tuesday, August 4, 2009 Becky,I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember good times and good things about your mom. She always had a smile on her face and it was because she was usually laughing.
Her house is the first one that I see when I come home that I know the occupant.
She was taken far too soon to suit us, but I think I know her heart and I know she's in a better place.
I love you guys and I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.
