Karri and Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. Sending you some old Catholic Consolidated love.
We are saddened by the news of Linda’s passing. Our deepest sympathies to the whole family.
Karri, Rhonda and family,
So very sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. I have memories of her and your grandparents dating back over 60 years. She was a wonderful person and her family was her world. Take comfort knowing she’s with your dad.
I have so many memories of Linda-Karri Ann, Rhonda Lee was often belted out by Linda as she kept a close watch over us. I remember Linda coming over to help me with my hair and dress-for my senior prom. The home next door was always a safe haven for me Linda and Nick always welcomed me.
Condolences and prayers for Linda’s family from an old St Al’s classmate.
My sincere and humble condolences to the family and friends of Linda. Denny Albaugh
Our condolences go out to Linda and her family. She was a beautiful person with a wonderful personality. It’s hard to mention Linda without bringing Nick into the picture. When we would go back to Wheeling to visit, we were always welcomed with open arms into their home. We loved walking through their garden and leaving with a few jars of pickles that are unsurpassed. You will be missed, but never forgotten. God bless.
Sending thoughts and prayers during this difficult transitional time. Over time, may the good memories outweigh the heartache🤍🌸
