When asked what makes her family special, Linda stated: Our family is built on a foundation of love and trust. We love the Lord, we love each and we love ourselves. There is always much laughter when we get together.I always stressed to my sons that trust is a precious commodity. It's easy to lose it but very difficult to get it back. We have fun together." As a mother who taught her sons to be leaders, Linda shares that Motherhood requires the ultimate sacrifice of your time, talent and love for your children. It taught her how to give herself unconditionally. When her children were younger, they spent family time playing games. "Those are fond memories that my sons have of spending time with me. Being a single parent for most of their lives, there wasn't a whole lot of time. As my sons have grown, we cruise together as a family." states Linda. Linda shares with us her journey of being a Single Mom, being a domestic violence survivor and the sacrifices made to raise her sons. She states "Being a responsible parent and now a grandparent, is one of the most rewarding things in my life. There is no greater love, other than the love of Christ, than the love I receive from my children."
