Linda and I worked together in the stockroom at Sky City for a while and after I was moved to another location in the store she still worked in the stockroom for years. Linda was the nicest, friendliest person, so kind and such a hard worker! She always had a smile on her face 🤗. We were good friends until the store closed. I know she will be missed. She always talked about her sons and how much she loved them. I know she was loved too 💖 ! I’ll be praying for the family during this time 🙏🏼.
