One of God’s kindest and most thoughtful creatures has entered heaven. Linda Kay was a very special person exhibiting beautiful characteristics and charm through her struggles. She always put the other person ahead of herself and made you feel good about yourself no matter her problems at the time. Oh to be such an example!!! God is so proud of her life and examples.

I'm so very sorry to learn of Linda Kay's death.
I first got to know Linda Kay at First Baptist Church years ago when we were sponsoring a small church in South Louisiana. First Baptist sent a number of us, mostly late-teenagers with a few adults to help out with that church's outreach, and helped run the vacation Bible School, and participated in revival services there. Linda Kay was one of the adults on one of those trips.
If there was ever someone who got the hits out of the curveballs of life, it was Linda Kay. From the miracle of her recovery from a hideous auto accident that impacted every aspect of her life to caring for her aging parents, Linda Kay never lost her zest for life, her statuesque good looks, and a dazzling smile that could melt an iceberg. Whatever issues she had, she always minimized them, and kept her focus on her faith and her family.
Although she loved her widespread family, and her job at Conway, the brightest spot in her life was always her daughter, Donna Kay. I'm not at all certain that Donna Kay can ever fully know the pride and enthusiasm Linda Kay had for every aspect of her daughter's life. Just mentioning Donna Kay in conversation always brought out a stellar smile and obvious joy at the recognition of her daughter.
I'm reminded of the old hymn, "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?". Linda Kay now's got a crown with real stars based on her triumphant life and her faith.
Such a great lady is already missed--and my sympathies and prayers are with Donna Kay and the rest of her extended family.
