To the Ramsey family I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was a very special person, not many people had the smile she had. If anyone thinks of her they will see her smile first. 47 years ago she gave me a mixer for a wedding gift and I Still use it to this day! I love her❤️

I declare, truly saddened by your loss boys. Linda was a great woman and wasn't hesitant to lay into us as her own younguns when we got into trouble with y'all. So many great memories of a great woman hollering out that bathroom window at us when we was too loud and such . Love all you fellers and truly regret your loss. Remember she is looking down and smiling at y'all from on high.
