We hold dear Linda and our Mickelson Family in our heartfelt prayers. Our very deep sympathies to Linda’s family as well as her friends.
Our deepest sympathy for the family. She was the best mom, wife, grandmother, and neighbor. I grew up next to her and her family. She will be missed deeply.
Linda was one of my favorite people. I always enjoyed our visits. I will miss her smile, and how cheerful she was. My sincere sympathy and prayers.
We are so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. She was quite a lady. So many happy hours spent down south riding horses and checking cattle. Hugs and love to you all.
