Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to Tommy and his family at the loss of his Mother.
Linda and I were classmates at Odell High School and graduated together in 1961. Tommy, may the Lord grant you His peace that passes all understanding. Rest in Peace, dear Linda. You will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved you.

I worked with Linda at Fun-Tees. We enjoyed some good times over the years. We lost touch once I went to work elsewhere. Tommy I pray your family will be blessed with good memories.

Linda and I started school together in 1949. Our graduating class in 1961 was only 56 — the largest one Odell ever had at that time. As we were such a small class (as compared to today), most of us knew everyone’s parents and where they lived and had been in their home at some point. I went to Bible School with her at Poplar Tent several. years. Linda was always a friend.
