Linda-Marie

She was my friend - and friend to all;
she had a heart of gold. 
I miss the chats we used to have
and stories that she told,
her way with words, her witty tongue
and sassy sense of fun.
Her kindness made the Soup a home:
her words inspired each one.
Although our Sweetheart passed away,
her memory will always stay.

She is surely missed. Even today I think I see her name on some of the lists. She was very prolific. Sure wish you had posted this before the contest closed.
