Linda helped me a lot through highschool and after… always have me great advice when I was down and never once judged me … we love you Linda -Keely (Chapina) Pineda
ILOVE you so much sissy Pooh you left kentrell lost to the point of no return we missing you like crazy till we meet again my pretty angle we love you 😘😭
We grew up together, from foster care to high school, to being adults. Experiencing the same thing with someone and going through the same things and having someone you can relate to is pretty cool. What’s even cooler is having a friend to experience it with. I’ll forever love you, you’ll forever be in my heart and always be my friend! I love you Linda!
I love you forever Linda. You touched so many people. I pray for your family and close friends. I’ll be running to you in heaven.
I still can’t even believe that I’m having to type this out. It still doesn’t seem real to me. When I met Linda I instantly was drawn by her beauty and as years passed and I got to really know her she because one of my best friends. Anytime I needed her she was there. I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for her. R.I.P until we meet again.

Damn Linda, such a beautiful soul gone too soon! I will always remember all the amazing times we had growing up! From Rock Springs to Smyrna High to on afterwards. Every time I think of you I can hear your laugh in my head! If you know Linda you know her little laugh was high pitched and cute as all get out. Your beautiful spirit will be truly missed!
Such a beautiful young soul lost so soon. Praying for the family and friends.
Linda was the realest person you can ever think about. If you had a problem she was there for you even if you didn’t wanna talk about she will make you happy. She will be dearly missed and loved by everyone (Jennifer)
Forever in my heart I love you baby girl ❤️🕊
Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Linda ? A: I met Linda through my Grandson, she came up to me and immediately told me she was calling me Granny and asked my Zodiac sign. Linda was very lovable and down to earth, so full of life with a big heart ❤. I will miss her. R.I. H. baby. Gone too soon🙏❤😥
Q: What will you miss most about Linda ? A: I’m gonna miss you showing up to my house uninvitedly because I didn’t answer the phone and your voice I never thought I would even have to write about you like your gone, I love you
As I sit here thinking to myself I’ve come to realize that we’re only here for a short period of time my dear friend Linda accomplished her mission before some of us Her ambition consistency and dedication is what I’ll miss the most but one day I’ll see you again until I do……. just keep watching ova me cuh finally got here wings.Foreva hold my 3’s up Long live lu
Linda Lu Peden words can’t describe the heartache I go through now on a regular basis. I miss you more than I have ever or could ever miss anything in my life. You were the best big little sister. You used to get me ready in the morning, you would brush my hair and choose my clothes and even made sure I ate, and all before you would get ready. My heart and soul longs for the day I get to see you again, but I don’t know how long that will be. No matter what I accomplishments or downfalls I will be presented with in this life, but I know you will be with me forever and always. Fly high Linda please wait for me!
Q: What will you never forget about Linda ? A: I will never forget her smile. When I first met her she was smiling and saying, “Nice to finally meet you Ms. Trice”. She was outspoken and played no games. She defintely kept my son Trell on his toes😂😂😂 She also had a caring heart. When she loved, she loved hard. It was like I knew her way longer than I did. This loss of her has caused heartache on many. She will never be FORGOTTEN. Love you crazy girl, continue to get your rest angelface😇😇😇😇 Love Always, MS. Trice💖💖
