Linda's sister Karen's Service Reading at the Celebration of Linda....

The certain hope of every child of God is that death is not the end but only the gate to greater life. This keeps believers from fearing death. If we gave our heart to Jesus, we can be certain that He prepared a place for us in His Father's house. Death is not a pit but a tunnel leading to a far greater fullness of light than we ever saw before, because we shall then be in the light of God. (Devotional by Corrie ten Boom, world wide missionary evangelist)

Linda also attended St. Olaf College for it's music courses. She sang in the school choir. When Linda and Dave were married, she sang a song to him. She also sang many solo's in church. The hymn "My Redeemer Lives" was inspired by the verse in Job from the devotional.

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And . . . in my flesh shall I see God.
Job 19: 25-26 KJV
