Beautiful Linda, you never knew how you touched my life but you were a true ‘soul mate’. Remember our conversation, known you for a day or known you in a former life, we’ve always been connected. Thank you so much for the invitation to the lake last summer – we created some precious memories in spite of Mike’s airhorn. I am so sorry that I was unable to be with you and your family during the last trying days. You will always be in my heart, my friend. Save me a space beside you on the other side. I’ll be along.

Moose: You were and will always be my best friend and closest confidant. Know that you will remain in my heart forever and a day and I miss you terribly, I’m afraid my heart won’t heal from this loss. The only comfort I have is knowing that you are with your Mom and my Mom and many loved ones who have traveled this path before. No doubt you’ll be keeping tabs on all of us so I promise to keep my “parafanations” where I can find them at a moments notice and will keep you in my thoughts every minute of everyday.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
I Am Not Here Hopi Grief Prayer
Don’t stand by my grave and weep,
For I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning, hush.
For I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.
Mr. Allsbrook and family,
We are sad to hear of your loss. We hurt with you in this time of sorrow. Your band family is here to embrace you and love you in your hour of need. Please call if there is any assistance we can provide.
The Johnsons plus two

Mr. Allsbrook,
Our thoughts are with you and your family during this sad time. Although we didn’t know her personally, I’ve always heard wonderful things about your mom from others associated with the band. I’m sure her support for you and the band will be a happy memory. Remember that your band family is always there to lean on in tough times.
Sharon, Ernie and Matthew Forni

Mr. Alsbrook,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
My deepest condolences to Jim and Linda’s family. Linda was truly devoted to Jim and her boys, who loved her deeply in return. I have fond memories of her warmth and friendliness, her sense of humor, and especially her laugh. Linda was special. She will be with us always.
My deepest heartfelt compassion goes out to Jay and your family. I am sorry that your mother has moved on in this life, but feel comforted to know she is basking in the Son in heaven. My family’s thoughts and prayers are with you all.
On behalf of all of Jimmy’s friends at Carolina Finance, our prayers will be with the family during this challenging time.
Peace to you and your family. My thoughts are with you during this time of grief.
The ultimate Band Mom!! My thoughts and prayers are with you, her family, as you celebrate her life and her love for you all…
To a wonderfully fun and great person,we love and we’ll miss you but thr Good LORD keeps a special place for such a wonderful person such as you, Always Rick
To say that she will be missed would be an understatement and a grievous indifference. She breathed life into each band member and infused the lives of others with such vitality as never to be replicated. As a mom, she gave her family unlimited love and endless possibilies. As a band mom, the music of her soul made rhyme and reason of each endeavor. Her presence will be sorely missed, but her spirit will live on etenally!!
To The Allsbrook Family,
Our hearts and prayers are with you during the time of sorrow.
We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Mr. & Mrs. James Gorham and family
