    My prayers are with Linda's family at this difficult time. I am sure she is flying high and singing with the angels. I remember her playing the part of 'Calamity Jane' at Bryan Jr. Sr. High. No one could do it like she did.

    Another 6-stringer called back home. My condolences to the Wilmot family on your loss. I only knew Linda briefly when she sat in one night with the band I was playing with. And got to know her better in the music circles. She also sang at a funeral that I too sang. She was a gifted musician and writer and will be missed. May Gods blessings shine on her and her family at this time.

    My thoughts and prayers to all of Linda's family and friends at this sad time. Linda was a talented, gifted woman with a genuine kindness and sweetness about her. I met her through her brother and she was so like him. She will be making music in the heavens. Godspeed and God Bless.
