Linda got me a job in the Communications Department chairman's office where I worked with her during graduate school. We continued our friendship when we both ended up in Jackson furthering our careers and starting families. Always a faithful friend, Linda would share recipes, helpful homemaker tips and other wise advice. She was an encourager, supporter and a loyal confidant during that time. We exchanged Christmas cards over the years and had planned a visit before Covid. Sadly, that visit never happened. I'll always remember Linda with a grateful heart for the practical life's lessons she taught me as a young woman, mother and wife. I know her family will cherish fond memories of her gracious spirit. Very thankful for her friendship.
