Linden was a delightful person. He was caring, joyful, friendly, and always giving a smile upon meeting you. We will miss him immensely at Emmanuel Baptist. Our hearts are aching for Betty, Gene, Ann, Joey, and the grandchildren who have already suffered so much in the past weeks. We know that Linden is with His Savior and Annette now. We do not grieve for them because we have hope in Jesus that we will see them again. We do grieve for the family and friends left here but we know that God will give grace as we beseech Him in prayer. We send our deepest condolences with much love and hugs. Friends in Christ always, Hazel and Vahe Geukgeuzian
