To the entire Hexcox family and extended family at RCC, I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was always a welcoming face at RCC. I remember her being very involved and supportive. “Miss Flame” seems appropriate. She is a light that she shared and passed on to others, and she will live on in those who continue to carry her light. Sending you all love and prayers.
Linda’s joy for life was wonderful to witness
What a blessing she was to so many in her family and church family
I regret that I will miss the celebration of her life but I know her spirit will continue to live through all her children grandchildren and greats
Gods peace to all of you
Linda was such a welcoming face at RCC. I have so many fond memories of her from my childhood. Her kindness and love will live on by those she touched.
She was a dear choir mate- we sat beside each other for several years. Whenever we saw each other or spoke in the phone it was as if we were kindred spirits. She was an inspiration when I faced my cancer battle 4 years ago. She is singing in heaven with the angels free from the physical constraints of her earthly body. Prayers for all of her family as they somehow pass through this Christmas tide without her.
