My heart is heavy with sadness as I just heard of Linda's passing. I so enjoyed our visits each time she came into Dr. Sutton's office. She had the most beautiful and contagious smile. And she always had a great big hug for me. I loved swapping Grandbaby stories with her. She loved her babies! She had that special twinkle in her eyes as she spoke of them. And she was so proud of her children and husband as well. After a couple of visits, we figured out that we were actually related. My Dad, Governor Crawford and Chubby are cousins. We always talked about getting the families together. I am just sorry we never did. I love Linda and will miss her so very much. But, I am happy for her too. I know she is home with our Lord and Savior and smiling down on us with that beautiful smile. I am praying that you all find peace and comfort in the Lord, knowing that Linda is with Him. With all my love and prayers, Teresa Crawford St John

I can't even begin to write down how hard my heart is hurting. I miss my dear friend so much. We talked so much at times that our ears would be so numb because of us holding the phone to our ear so long. We always enjoyed our visits catching up on things. She would always be laughing, sometimes crying. She loved all of her family so much. Couldn't wait for any sports to start and buddy, she was always right there. She has left us with some beautiful memories. Memories I will cherish. I love you Linda Jean. You left me way to early. I love all of your family. I will keep each of you in my prayers.

My heart is hurting as I'm just finding out about long time friend Linda. My heart goes out to Chubby, Cody and Kyle. Memories of the whole family will live forever in my heart even though we have lived apart for so many years. May God give you all and your families peace knowing she was met by Johnny at the gates of Heaven.

Linda will be greatly miss by this whole community. She was a proud meme of her babies. Every time I saw her at the store she would have a hug for me and then we had conversations about our grand babies. I will miss our talks. Heaven has a wonderful angel now! God Speed MeMe. I will miss you dearly! Denise

Linda has always been one of the kindest women I have ever met...She always carried a smile and a story about her grandkids...I loved running into her in town...It just made my day and left me feeling better for having had a small chat with her... She will definitely leave an emptiness in our community... Holding you all in my prayers.
