Tom, I am sorry for the loss of your Mom. Prayers for you and your family in the days ahead.
Our condolences to Tom and family. I greatly admired Linda for her accomplishments and her intelligence; I always enjoyed the time I spent with her at Retired Teachers and Book Club. Hers was definitely a life well lived and may she Rest In Peace.
A true professional! I too was taught 2nd grade by Mrs. Little many moons ago. I still have great memories to this day. When my kids ask me who my favorite teacher was growing up, I always say “Mrs. Little.”
Mrs Little taught me 2nd Grade at St Mary Central in Martins Ferry several years ago. Praying for strength for her family during this difficult time. Sincerely, Dana
Mrs. Little was my 2nd grade teacher in the early 80s. She was always so nice. Prayers for you all and our deepest sympathies. Cathryn (Andrews) Holzschuher
Deepest sympathy. Mrs Little taught me 2nd Grade over 35 years ago at St Mary’s. Sincerely, Jessica Galbraith (Zeakes) and family
The Lord definitely gained another angel. Linda is one of the kindest, loving people I’ve ever known. Praying for her family, especially Tom
I wish I could be there for a final farewell but that is not possible. Please know.my heart is with you.
You fought a good fight Linda and you will be missed. God has gained an organist for his angel choir.
