Kosters family Im so sorry to learn of Linda’s passing. She was a fabulous co-worker and an awesome nurse. Treasure all your memories. I can only imagine the reunion she had with Connie!!! God bless.
My sweet cousin, may you rest in eternity with those whom have gone before you. Cousins Weekend will be in your honor from now on. Hoping you are playing cards with the best of them! May we see you again, on the other side.
We were such good friends for so many years. She was a wonderful nurse, and I truly loved working with her. Our joke was that we would room together in the nursing home and raise all kinds of hell. I have thought of that so many times in the last year’s.
So sorry to hear of Lindas passing!! We were coworkers when she lived in Winner. My sympathy to the family.
