Through the good, bad and stubborn times. She waited on him hand and foot. If everyone doesn’t know she at one time chased a grown man with hammer because he done something to Ronnie at the races. The Mom: Mom was always there when you needed her, even when you were grown.If Rhonda was sick, she went and laid on the couch with mom. When life didn’t turn out like you wanted, you went home to mom. Even when both of you didn’t see eye to eye about life we still went home to mom. Mom was who Bubba called every day on the home from work to talk and if he didn’t, he would get in trouble. You could always count on her to tell you if you were right or wrong.The mom in her even took other children that was not hers and loved them as if they were her own. She always had rules to go by for her children.Finish school, work hard, and no one comes before your family. The Nanny: Being Nanny was her favorite thing.She was a Proud Nanny. One of her favorite memories was when she picked Jen up from her mom’s house Jenn would get out of her car seat saying O shit, O shit Nanny I need a cigarette! But the newest was watching Jen’s belly grow with Thomson. Being a Nanny had no distance. Even Tyler living in Florida would need something she would do it.Most of the time it was Nanny can you please talk to mom she is driving me crazy. So, she would Rhonda and tell her leave my baby alone!Blake and Cameron could talk Nanny into doing anything they wanted. Even getting into Pawpaw’s touch me not case without him finding out, until recently! Then there was Dylan. Her Non getting dressed, Golden Girls, Hallmark channel partner. Another smile to her heart. As a Nanny she always had what her babies wanted (strawberry milk, cokes, reese’s,) or needed (her hugs). Anyone that new her knows all these things are true. She always said you could mess with anything but her family.Linda was a Strong, Loving Wife, Mom, and Nanny.
