God's Garden
God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God's Garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew you'd never ever
Get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine".
Then He took you up to Heaven
With hands so gentle and kind.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
Fort part of us went with you
the day God welcomed you home.

I was so sorry to hear about Linda's passing. I was a new teacher at Boxholm when Erik was in 5th grade and she was always so supportive and helpful. My sympathies to the family.

My condolences to all of Linda's family. We go back a long long ways. We worked together at the the hospital in Fort Dodge when it was Lutheran Hospital and we bowled together. On several occasions I would go home with Linda to Odebolt and spend the weekend there getting to know her sister Betty and her Mom & Dad. What great fun we would have and what an awesome family, I shall always hold dear in my heart those

I will remember stopping to see Linda on the way back from shopping trips with Betty. It was always fun to see Linda and made a great stopping point before heading home. My deepest sympathy to Chuck and the family. LaVonne

To the Family of Linda Swanson,
Having had just one opportunity to meet Linda, at Erik & Tara's wedding this past May 2012; it is without question, that the fruits of her labor are revealed in the close–knit family whom I met on May 19th—well-grounded in a formidable faith in God! It is my utmost prayer for each of you, that for every tear that falls from your faces, may there be a loving memory that lifts you back up and fills your hearts with LOVE.
My condolences to you all,
Clarice Duits... Aunt of Tara Jo Swanson
