For Linda’s family,
Linda was such a beautiful, sweet person. (Charles was also a friend) I knew Linda through the American Business Women’s Association. (ABWA). She was very active in all aspects of the Educational Association. Linda wore and modeled beautiful hats in the Annual ABWA Champagne Chapeaux fundraiser held at the Grove Park Inn each year. Linda always had a smile and a kind word for everyone, and I knew her as a dear friend. My sincere thoughts and sympathy to the family. She will be truly missed.
So sorry to hear about your mother passing.
Love,
Linda Crowell Ball

Jeff and Mike so sorry about your loss. I remember the time Linda and I spent looking for the right horse in the mid 60’s. The time at Sand Hill High. The calls after we grew older to check on each other’s health. She was a true friend. May God be with you.
