    Linda Garnhart, loving wife, mother and professional caretaker of a multitude of people as a nurse. She was a consummate professional and nary a negative word spoken. Linda was a lover of people and her furry friends. She enjoyed extended family and friends, occasionally with her favorite drink, a black russian! My wife and I were fortunate to spend some quality time with Linda at the hospital and convalescent homes while we were visiting. Our condolences to husband Jim, son Bryan and her brother Patrick. Mike, Jan and Ryan Koevenig
