SCRIBNER, NE Wednesday, July 25, 2018 Although I do not know the family, Linda purchased my mom's house when she moved to Fremont. My mother loved this town house and was interested in the person who would own it after her. I told her that Linda Revis was widow who was so very kind and thoughtful with a quiet spirit. I enjoyed the very short time I had the privilege of knowing Linda. My our wonderful Lord and Savior give you peace and comfort as you go through this valley of sorrow.Kathy and George Riggle

Dearest Mom I loved you
in a very special way.
If I could have one lifetime wish,
one dream that could come true,
