  5. So Sorry to hear the Linda lost her fight. I regarded her as one of our best Auxiliary presidents. She and I worked to get the Ronald McDonald House Pop Tops program in Fargo. We also got the 9th District to sponsor one of the rooms. I know that she was really proud of that accomplishment. We did a lot of walk-a-thons for Cancer Aid and Research for the VFW. I will never forget her smile and laughter.

  8. I am a student at NDSU, and got the pleasure of knowing her my freshman year. She was loved by every student that knew her, and she made it her mission to put a smile on everyone who walked into the Loaf. We need more caring people like Linda in the world.

  9. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. Linda was an amazing woman. When I lived and worked in Fargo, I always made a point to stop at the Loaf n Jug and just chat with her for a little bit at least once a week. May God bring her soul to the best heavenly resting place.

  10. I love you Auntie Linda. You always put a smile on my face, and when I would stop at the loaf and Jug before work we would go out for a smoke and you would always want me to stay for just one more. You would stay so what Toots, we would laugh and you made my day so GREAT. I love now and forever, Toots>

  11. Linda was an amazing woman. I spent almost ten years working at The Turf next door, and always looked forward to seeing Linda at the end of a closing shift. I miss my conversations that we would have, and the warm chocolate chip cookies that she always had ready for me in the wee hour of the morning. Let’s all strive to be like Linda.

  12. Hi my name is jackie my mom knew Linda. I truly am sorry for the loss she was a good lady miss her lots hope she is with my mom in heaven having a better life god bless the family.
