Linda Updike


Linda, your Presence will be Missed Greatly! We had been friends since we were 5 years old riding our tricycles together and after all these years of friendship, thought we had many more to share but God had other Plans for you. It was time for you to Graduate to your Forever Home with your Lord Jesus Christ! We had so many conversations about your Love for Jesus and you had such a hunger to learn more about his Word and Promises! Your Now Dancing on the Streets of Gold and Reunited with your Mom that you Missed so Terribly and others who went before you! Until We Meet Again there will be a Empty Void in my Life, Love You Linda!

Me dear Linda, you are already missed so much by me!! We have talked almost everyday since June 5th of last year and I miss our daily talks. I keep finding myself wanting to pick up the phone to call you! We had the most amazing summer last year with you stopping over and sitting outside and we enjoyed talking about life in general. I have known you since I was probably 7- 8 years old and and it is hard to believe life passes us by so fast. You shared with me the love you had for your children and how they meant they world to you and you always wished nothing but peace and happiness for them. They were your whole life and it was very easy to see that by the way you talked and cared about them. I am so happy we were able to reconnect after all the years in between and picked up right where we left off. I Thank God that I was able to spend last summer and fall with you and we were able to share stories about life and our children. I want you to know how much I miss You! Rest in peace my dear friend. Love you....
