Linda Dillon was one of the sweetest sisters- in-law anyone could ever have. She was always fun loving, caring, and compassionate. I have so many great memories of family times when we would spend weekends together, stay up late, and enjoy our kids. In recent years I got to know her even better through phone conversations. I will miss being able to call and text and share pictures back and forth with her. She loved the Gaithers and other Christian music. She would share her favorites, and I did the same. I know her faith was strong, and I look forward to seeing her one day again soon.Then there will be no more death, pain or sorrow. I'm looking forward to the family reunion!!
