Linda was well known at the puppy rescue and had been volunteering since June of last year. She attended intakes as our resident puppy washer and adoptions as a senior adoption counselor. On occasion, Linda would bring her granddaughter Sydney to help at a few of our events and Sydney became well known too. Linda was fun to be around, easy to approach and easy to trust. She became a fast friend to most of us. We enjoyed spending time with her while eating and gabbing after intakes and at our book-swaps.

I will remember Linda for her hearty laughter, her genuine smile and her sensitive hugs. I will remember the generosity and thoughtfulness that she showed to those around her. I will remember the love that she had for our puppies, for us and for her family.
Linda contracted Bacterial Meningitis earlier this week . She passed away last night at Parker Adventist Hospital surrounded by her family. I will let you know when her service arrangements have been decided.

There will be a Celebration of Linda's life this Sunday at 1pm. Grace Memorial Church is located at 1370 Holly St. Denver, CO 80220.
ReplyDeleteKim and I plan to speak on behalf of the puppy rescue. You are welcome to speak too; however if there is a memory that you would like to share about Linda, but do not feel comfortable in front of a group or cannot make it, Kim and I would be happy to share it for you. We can take your phone calls at 303-378-2974 or you can return this email.
Flowers can be sent to Grace Memorial Church or, if you prefer, the family has requested that donations be made to Colorado Puppy Rescue in honor of Linda's love for animals and the happy times she had with us.
Thank you,
Brook
