Linnie's children;

Sorry for your loss. I believe there is a Mount Rushmore in heaven for beautiful people, and Linnie will be at the top. She and your Dad, Mike, worked hard to provide for you, and did an outstanding job. Knowing all of you for many years and watching you apply the values learned from Mike and Linnie to your lives has made me a better person. Thank you and may God bless all of you, and may Linnie RIP.

Met Linnie quite a few years ago. I took porcelain painting lessons from her mother in law, Jessie Burks, for quite a few years. Still painting to this day. Jessie lived down the street from me. It was a wonderful time and occasionally Linnie would drop in or one of Jessie´s grandchildren. What a beautiful family Jessie and Linnie had. Lonnie will definitely be missed.

Linnie and I have been friends since 6th grade at St. Anthony. She knew what it was to walk with God. I often told her "when I get big I want to be just like you". She being the tall one and I the short one. May your harts be full of joyous memories to help ease the loss of the family matriarch She has left a beautiful legacy.
