This is a picture of Linda when she was relatively healthy. I just wish I could jump inside the photo and tell her how much I miss her. |

This photo caught Linda by surprise. She is showing signs of changing physically, but her cancer wasn't as active during this time. Various pictures of physical changes shows the various stages cancer changes the physical appearance of a person. She was dealing with so much during this time, but she did her best to maintain her composure when the kids came by. |

This is a picture of Linda on the back of Brandon's motorcycle. She could be heard screaming as he took off. Brandon is my youngest step-son and Linda's son. Linda wasn't feeling well in the photo, and was starting to show signs of deteriorating, but did her best to show a smile. |

This is Linda with our daughter-in-law Chasity. They were very close. Linda's eyes have tears and I couldn't help but wonder if she was thinking how this was going to be their last picture taken together. |

This was taken on Thanksgiving 2004. My state of mind is seen in my face and also Linda's. She has her hand over her tumor. It was a very sad day. She was so thin under her dress and I was very depressed. |

This is the photo I have cried over more than any other. Linda's eyes show the pain she is feeling, both physically and mentally. Everytime I look at it, I get tears. |

Susan does her best to put on a brave face while having to see Linda decline in health. The picture of Linda's resignation is heartbreaking. |

A few weeks before Linda died. She weighed 75 lbs. at the time the photo was taken and lost 25 more at the time of her death. This is a heartbreaking picture because the resignation is seen in her eyes. There are so many questions in her eyes. |
