Linda's spiritual door and calling was received in the year 2000. She has helped many to connect with their loves ones on the "Other Side". She was a true believer that we all are "God's Angels". Linda guided people in making a smooth death transition to the "Other Side". She reminded others that death is just a change-going back "Home"-That we all are Spiritual beings. Life never ends--it goes on and on to Infinity!

Linda made her transition October 2006 and will always remain in our hearts.
