I am so sorry to hear about your mom Linda. She was a special lady. Growing up with Jim in High School she always had us kids over. She always had a kind word and a heart of gold. I know she will be greatly missed. Lifting your family up in my prayers.

Dear Boudet Family, Linda was one of the most generous people I’ve ever known. She was so giving with her time as she spent so many hours helping my daughter, Becky, make music when she was growing up. When I was called to Tennessee for a trip I didn’t want to make, Linda piped right up and said “I’ll go with you.” Linda was always fun to be with. We made a trip to Tennessee in her Bronco which – for some unknown reason – had lost its gear shift handle. No matter – Linda just shifted gears with a screwdriver! And we cracked up every time. Her piano skills were second to none…in spite of a leg that shook the entire time she played during a church service. I love this picture of her beautiful smile. She had a wonderful laugh and she laughed a lot. She blessed the lives of the Holbrook family.

Linda was one grade behind me at Pompano Beach High and a member of the cheerleading team. She was well respected among her fellow students and the school’s faculty. Linda was always proud that her father was a skilled engineer and owner of MWI, one of the nation’s top flood companies. The company still resides today in Deerfield Beach, Fl….Linda’s childhood hometown. My condolences to her family.

I can’t begin to express how missed she will be. She was a woman of God that had helped me in growing closer to Christ. She was an example of such a loving woman who always tries to meet the needs of others. She was my friend whom I will miss greatly. I grew a relationship when her and I worked at a local Christian bookstore together. She made a lasting memory for my husband, me and our kids when she played piano at our wedding. You will be missed but I know your husband and son were celebrating as they awaited you. My love to you my friend
