Linda was a special person, I will always remember how her laugh could fill a room and make everyone smile. She had a contagious good heart. I valued every conversation we had because, Linda was one of those people when you spoke to her, she gave you her entire attention. I hope she finds peace. My best wishes always.

I never met you...but I worked with your son Tom. I know you must have been an awesome person...since your son is such a joy. I am so thankful I met him. He made work a joy when he was around. Just knowing him makes me feel like I knew you some. So sorry for the families loss. Just know you are always around in your love ones and the joy you have is totally in them! And they spread it every day! So sorry Tom. Shelly and kelly

I've only known Linda for a short time through Vanilla Bean and she was such a special person to work with. She is missed. My deepest sympathies to her family

Linda was such a special person. A kind and loving heart, intelligent, humble, accepting of all. Also such a sense of humor. She loved life and was so full of joy. She loved the children that she so patiently taught, and they loved her for making school fun. Linda is now free of pain and earthly boundaries. Her spirit will live on with loved ones as an angel, continuing her love and nurturing to all.

Although I only knew Linda for a short while from working with her at Vanilla Bean - she brightened my day each and every time I was with her. She was always so positive and upbeat; with a great sense of humor. We shared proud Grandma moments together. She will be missed. God Bless your family. Hugs. Regina

Carol and I used to hang out with Mike and Linda back before we all got married and had kids. Then for some reason we lost track of each other for about 30 years and one day I got a friend request with that great picture of Linda. It was so good to reconnect with them after so many years. Over the past few years we would get together whenever we could. They would come to MN to visit us or we'd visit them in Rockford or Madison. Linda was always a bright spot in our life - so fun to be with. We'll miss her laugh and just the happiness she spread being near her. Prayers, love and peace to you, Linda. We will surely miss you. Love, Carol & Dave Dittbenner

To Mike and family, my deepest sympathy to you all. May the good memories help to carry you through this difficult time. My prayers are with you all and Linda.
