Linda- One of the nicest things about you was the fact that it was so easy to make you laugh. It showed a warmness that our whole office enjoyed. We will miss that experience but we will have the memories to keep us warm into the future. Thank you.

Dear Linda, My frist memory of your kindness was Easter of 1949. We were both lost little kids hunting Easter eggs at the Wilshire County Club. It was an overcast day till your bright smile appeared next to me and said “Hi Tommy”..How many eggs do you have? 50 yrs later your smile and laughter would always brighten my birthdays! Now your smile brightens Heaven..Will miss but never forget you…Tommy

Dear Werdin Family…
Glen and I were so saddened to hear of Linda’s death..she was a very kind, sweet and gentle person…one whom we wished we had known better. We will miss her and regret the lost opportunity to have become better friends. She will be in our prayers.

Poem written by Chris Cooper, very close cousin of Linda’s. It is called God’s Little Angel.
Please don’t cry, for now I’m free.
I’m on the path God chose for me.
I heard Him call and took His hand.
We know it’s part of the bigger plan.
If my absence leaves a space fill it up with love and grace. A friendship shared, a gentle kiss.
These are things….I too will miss.
Don’t be burdoned by your sorrow.
Enjoy the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full. I’ve savored much.
Good times, Good friends, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my life seemed all too brief.
Don’t lengthen it with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me.
God has called. He’s set me free!
