Lewis and Linda spent a life of love and laughter together. They always loved camping with their dog "little Bit". She loved to dance and was always singing or humming a tune. She loved her life and would not have changed it for anything.

She leaves behind a cherished legacy of hard work, love, and caring for her family. She spent a lifetime loving and giving to her family. She will be sorely missed and always loved. She will always be "mama".
