Laurie, I am so sorry we couldn't be with you last week. Linda was a "rock" for me when she was at LHS. I always knew where to find her and that I could count on her to point me in the right direction when I got lost! I'll treasure always the news article she so lovingly preserved for me just a few weeks ago. My love to you and your family. May perpetual Light shine upon her.##imported-begin##Ana Walker##imported-end##

My heart goes out to the Etzel family. Linda was great to work with and just a good person. She will be missed her but I know she's with God and Laura Reed. She's in good company.

I remember Ms. Etzel as a teacher who really cared about her students. I was fortunate enough to have her at LHS in my 9th grade year and she kept track of me throughout my high school years and beyond. She would ask how I was doing when we would run into each other around town, and it always felt like she really wanted to know; a quality that I find to be unique. I know that everyone in my PALS class appreciated the level of kindness and respect that she showed us everyday. She was such a great educator and will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and students.

Linda,
You were an awesome friend. I am going to miss you so much. When I look at you, you would make me laugh. We had so many happy, wonderful memories together. Working across the hall from each other, working the athletic ticket booths,giving the ACT, SAT tests on Saturdays, eating with the "Lunch Bunch", going out after school on fridays to meet our co-workers.
You are one of the dearest friends I could ever have. Be my angel. Until we meet again. I love you.##imported-begin##Kim Koonce Baggett##imported-end##
