    Linda an amazing unique woman i met in orlando in 2018 while i was on vacation. She helped me without knowing me . She was so kind , so helpful, so nice. She invited me with my mom and sister to her house to celebrate thanksgiving day together. This woman is more than incredible, she is a legend. I love her so much . I learned from her humanity, compassion and pure heart. This is a huge loss . Linda we will never forget you ❤️✨ you’re presence is much much stronger than your absence . You became an angel now. You always was 🤍🙏🏻✨☀️
