Condolence: We go through life, blessed with special friends. Some friendships are lifelong, with the bond of shared memories. Others we only have for a season, put together by God for his purpose and with enough love and friendship to last a lifetime.

Linda and I met because of our shared dedication to adoption and deepened our friendship as we encouraged each other through the highs and lows of both our professional and personal experiences.

In this year since her passing, the grief is still fresh but I find myself comforted more now by the sweet memories and spend less time asking "Why?"

Sending my love to all of her family and to all of those who, like me, feel especially blessed to have known such a courageous and gracious individual.

Thinking of You all,

Mary Brown

Condolence: When our loved ones fall asleep in death, the pain and grief seems unbearable. Our loving God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) understands how we feel and he comforts us by means of his word the Bible. Psalm 34: 18 tells us: "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. Again, the family is in my prayers and I offer my heartfelt condolences. Feel free to contact me if you wish at my email address; myranj@centurytel.net

Linda and I walked together through both professional and personal trials and I feel it my privilege to have had my life graced by this beautiful person, as well as many of her dear family members. I am a better person for having known Linda as my friend!

I send my love and prayers to you all that you will feel God's presence and comfort, both now and in the days ahead.

With love, Mary Brown
