Linda Smith

To Mike and family, my deepest sympathy to you all. May the good memories help to carry you through this difficult time. My prayers are with you all and Linda.

Carol and I used to hang out with Mike and Linda back before we all got married and had kids. Then for some reason we lost track of each other for about 30 years and one day I got a friend request with that great picture of Linda. It was so good to reconnect with them after so many years. Over the past few years we would get together whenever we could. They would come to MN to visit us or we'd visit them in Rockford or Madison. Linda was always a bright spot in our life - so fun to be with. We'll miss her laugh and just the happiness she spread being near her. Prayers, love and peace to you, Linda. We will surely miss you. Love, Carol & Dave Dittbenner

Although I only knew Linda for a short while from working with her at Vanilla Bean - she brightened my day each and every time I was with her. She was always so positive and upbeat; with a great sense of humor. We shared proud Grandma moments together. She will be missed. God Bless your family. Hugs. Regina

Linda was such a special person. A kind and loving heart, intelligent, humble, accepting of all. Also such a sense of humor. She loved life and was so full of joy. She loved the children that she so patiently taught, and they loved her for making school fun. Linda is now free of pain and earthly boundaries. Her spirit will live on with loved ones as an angel, continuing her love and nurturing to all.

I've only known Linda for a short time through Vanilla Bean and she was such a special person to work with. She is missed. My deepest sympathies to her family
