Amanda, Robin, TamI & Dana,
I have fond memories of working with your mom at Faith Lutheran when we first moved to Minnesota in the early 90’s. She was helpful and kind, and at the same time, honest and direct, which I appreciated. One of the strongest impressions she made on me was her commitment to service and giving back to the community. She folded her kids into any work that needed to be done, and I remember thinking that’s the kind of mom I wanted to be. Know that I’m holding you all close during this tough time.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Linda through working with her daughters Robin and Amanda and later caring for her mother Florence. She was always smiling and upbeat. The North Shore holds many memories for me and now I will add Linda to those memories.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

I want to tell the entire family how sorry that your Mother passed away. I just found out myself. I did see your mother briefly at Wendy’s parking lot and she looked good to me. I loved your mother’s smile, happiness, and kindness to everyone. She was a blessing to us all. Much love to you all and God’s Blessing and Love to you all. If you do not remember my new last name now being I am back to my maiden name now which only 7 of us in the world have, Nordehn, pronounced like Nordeen. Amanda, I hope your teaching is going well for you, Tami and Robin have fun with your children, my best to you all and enjoy your life as much as you can with lots of happiness. Diane Nordehn, I feel that you will all remember your mother every day being we never forget our Mother’s. My Mother died when I was 27 years old, it is a hard loss to deal with. A special place in your heart your mother has with all of her children. I am sorry it has been so long for me to find this out. I loved your mother.
