You will be missed Linda Lee from your friend in Florida Bless you

Linda and I were classmates, BHS Class of 1958, from 7th grade through 12 grade, until graduation in 1958. We were the first class to graduate from the then new high school on West Main Street. Forty years later, I was "volunteered" to work on our 40th class reunion. I soon learned that you could count on Linda to help out with anything required to make it a successful reunion. She continued to do so for the 45th, 50th, 55th and 60th reunions as well! A great classmate for many, many years. She will be missed, and remembered, by us all.

Dear Family, If you were not on Facebook you wouldn't know that Linda sent out the most beautiful pictures of flower gardens and sayings or poems every day. I couldn't wait to read her message and see what a lovely picture was in the back ground. I'm so glad I e-mailed her to tell her how delighted I was seeing her morning entries . I will miss seeing her post and miss seeing her at our luncheons. Facebook. Gail Heil PS If you have her daughters e-mail, perhaps you could forward my message.

so sorry; our prayers are with the family

I am so sorry over the loss of Linda-much loved Mom, Grandma, Sister and Auntie. My love and prayers to everyone. Although I am unable to attend the services this weekend, please know you are all in my thoughts. Love always, Krissy

My sincere condolences to all of the family of Linda Sears. Very sad to hear of her passing and struggle. I worked with Linda at CCB&T for many many years. She was a wonderful co-worker and good friend. She was very dedicated to her job, customers and friends. My prayers are with you all and to Marsha Stout for all her recent sadness. I am only sorry I can’t attend because we no longer live in the cape and spend our time in Tx and Fl. She is up with the angels now and probably telling a good joke .
