My condolences to Linda's Hinterman and Gulick family members. We have very fond memories of Linda when our family would travel to Uncle Rudy's for opening day pheasant season. Linda would always welcome us with open arms and her warm smile and insure that us kids were well taken care of. Linda's quiet yet very present personality let all know that Linda had everything under control. We (Chuck, Denny, Lorrie, Tim, Diane) were sad to hear of Linda's passing but thrilled to know that she is in her Lord and Savior's presence and celebrating with Roger, Uncle Rudy, Aunt Mary and other loved ones.
Sincerely,
Chuck Hinterman

Al, Matt, Carrie and families, I am very sorry for your loss yet thankful that your mother is no longer suffering. She was a good friend to my mother over the years and I have many great memories of her.

We did not have the pleasure of knowing your mom. I know she must have been a truly amazing person as she raised amazing children who give back to those in need regularly. Our heartfelt prayers go out to you and your loved ones during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss, Josh and Carrie. Cindi Greene, the pastor officiating at the Celebration of Life, served Rockford UMC and we knew her pretty well. We miss her. Hugs and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Alan, Matt, Carrie and their families. Linda and eventually Roger were always an important part of our fun family gatherings at Uncle Rudy and Aunt Mary’s home! In later years, Linda and my mom, Shirley, continued their long friendship and get togethers well after my father Tom and her Roger were in heaven. Linda always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. I’m very sorry for your loss.

Linda was my first friend. We went from k-8th grade at Nohel school, then we went to high school in Merrill. Continuing our friendship we got our first job together at wolverine in Ithaca. We remained friends throughout the years. She will be remembered forever by my husband Bill and myself. God bless her dear children and grandchildren with precious memories ❤
