    Kim Vassos, Niece says:
    Sitting on the porch, watching the birds, swapping stories, and sharing laughter became a much anticipated annual event at Linda and JZ’s beautiful Maxwell family farm. So many memories have been made over the years as Linda loved and encouraged the gatherings of extended family and friends. From fish fries to hot dog roasts, we’ve enjoyed it all! I see Linda casting a line into the pond, hoping to catch that big one, and wheeling around the farm with Wyatt as her navigator! Linda’s love of her husband, J, and their son, Ryan, became even more complete as Ryan married Adrienne and brought a much anticipated, precious grandson, Conrad into their lives. Linda faced her illness with dignity and grace, never losing her sense of humor or positive spirit. Her faith in God sustained her and that faith will lead her home. Cherishing the memories, with love always, Kimon
