Speaking as President of the Beaumont Interfaith Choral Society, the choir has lost a sweet spirit and devoted singer. She made a difference in her participation. We were fortunate to having had her front row smile and strong voice for our concerts. She will be remembered fondly.

My sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time. May you all seek God for comfort, peace, strength and support (2 Cor 1:3).
It is hard to believe that it has been almost 4 years since losing Linda. We met through the Symphony Chorus, singing the Mozart Requiem. She loved music and we loved each other. Not a day goes by that I do not think about her. She is in heaven singing with the angels now. Still love you with all of my heart and miss you Linni. Rest in Peace, my Love.
