Linda Graves
September 18, 1959 – October 15, 2015
In Loving Memory Of My Wife
A talented singer and percussionist, Linda’s greatest gift was bringing joy to people, often complete strangers, with a kind word, a compliment, or sharing a joke. She was the sweetest, kindest, most loving person I ever knew, and she is missed terribly by me, her family and everyone who knew her.
May she find peace in the afterlife.

Thank you Bob for this fitting memorial to Linda. She was my first niece and I will never forget the day she was born and what a sweet young lady she grew up to be. Thank you for taking care of her for all these years and making her happy.
Bob, this is such a sweet gift to give to Linda. She was such a caring niece and she loved her family and especially you. I loved to be called “Auntie” by her. Love, Charles & Jolene
I wasn’t around Linda that much, but the times I was she always had some wild tales to tell and she didn’t hold anything back. She was very discriptive in the way she talked. Cancer is one of the many horrible diseases that we have to endure while on earth. I believe there are many cures out there that are not being released. I’m so sorry Linda had to go through this. Bob. I’m not sure I ever met you, but I am so glad Linda had someone to love her the way you did. She will be deeply missed by all her family! She has a new body now and is in heaven crocheting with Bo. May we all see each other again some day.
Linda was a very important person in my life, because we were neighbors and playmates long before Doyce married Della in 1968.
Scott and Linda meant more to me than anyone could possibly know. They both had the hearts, souls and spirits of musicians and artists, and were compassionate and loving humans.
I know that they both know how much I loved them. Scott knew this very well before he died.
I wish I could have told Linda during her “living years”. I don’t know if she could have “heard” me then, but I believe that she understands now, because she came to me in a dream on 10/20.
Music meant so much to Linda, so my best memorial to her will be these two songs…..
“Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ’em in quotations
Say what you need to say
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you could only . . .
Say what you need to say
Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say”

“May your soul be blessed
May your body rest
On the mountain where you were born
May your spirit soar
Where there’s joy evermore
May you find your way in peace
And there’s no more harm
In your Savior’s arms
See you fly away in the sky
Did you hear the call
Of Angels, one and all?
May you find your way in peace
May you know you’re loved
May you shine above
On the mountain where you were born
May your spirit soar
And there’s no more harm
In your Savior’s arms
See you fly away in the sky
Did you hear the call
Of Angels, one and all?
May you find your way in peace”

I miss you Linda – I drive by places and think of you…wish I could have been in Seattle during your last days to see you…I regret that.
You were such an encouragement and had a big heart. You saw things others did not see. Your passing affected me and I was so sad to see you go. I miss you and think of you often. Rasta love back at you girl – your singer pal friend. xxoo
Linda was my adopted sister. I’ll never forget her as long as I live.
Love,
Patty Moss
