Tributes
"I spent a lot of time at the Yohe household growing up...sometimes days on end. Mrs Yohe was like a second mother to me and always made me feel welcome. Their house was always full of Tom and Ty?s friends...when there were fights she reffed, when there were skinned knees or elbows she nursed and when we played sports she cheered. Mrs Yohe was always supportive, she was kind, she was loving and always had the right words. Her memory will live on with joy in my heart!"
"Whenever I saw Linda she was smiling! That is how I will remember her ! Full of joy and love! She was a special person who left a mark on many and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know her. Condolences to your family during this tough time! Love you all! "
"Such a beautiful tribute. She was full of life and taken way too soon. Keep all those precious memories close to heart. Thoughts, prayers and love to all of you. Sandra Schira"
"I am really sorry to hear about Linda's passing. This is Norton Hatlie and I had the pleasure and fun to get to know Linda for the few years we worked together at Davis Equipment. I supervised Linda so we worked daily with each other. She was almost always optimistic and energetic despite the challenges I know she often lived with daily. She kept me on my toes and I always knew where I stood with her. Sometimes I had to lecture her on something she maybe didn't do right and she was equal to the task to let me know if I dropped the ball on something in my corner. Most of all I knew she was a very good, caring and life loving person. I could trust her as much as anyone that I have worked with or for. Her boys were her joy and pride. I will miss her but the memories of Linda's few years in my life always make me smile."
