She loved people and her job.

Linda loved to spend time with family, friends and her dogs.  She lifted many spirits, was a great listener and was also a best forever friend. Anyone who visited her home was treated like royalty. There was always an abundance of food, dessert, coffee and laughter. Linda enjoyed watching old movies and western movies on the AMC channel and she also loved movie trivia and keeping up with the latest news.  She called family and friends daily and was always a delight to talk to.

She was a wonderful treasure to us and our lives will never be the same.  We all loved her and feel truly blessed to have had her in our lives.  She will live forever in our hearts and we are grateful to know she is now in the presence of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

Rohrer.  Linda joins her father Joe Rohrer who passed away in 1999.

"If you could see me Now."

If you could see me now you wouldn't shed a tear,
Though you may not understand why,
I am no longer there.
Remember my spirit,
That is the real me.
Because I'm still very much alive, I've just been set free!
Oh, if  you could only see!
I have beheld our Father's face and I've touched my Savior's hand.
All of Heavens angels rejoiced as I entered the promised land.
Beyond the gates of pearl, I 've walked on the golden streets,
I've touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the crystal sea.
The beauty is beyond words and nothing could compare,
I've even seen your mansion and someday, I'll meet you there.
Let Jesus be your guide because His Word will show you the way!
So, please don't cry because we will meet again someday.
