Linda and I were best friends all of our lives. We always called one another on our birthdays and sang silly versions of Happy Birthday. About 15 years ago, Linda started going with me to a Christian women’s retreat on a ranch near Hot Springs, Arkansas. We would have long conversations about Jesus and salvation. The second time she went with me, she gave her heart to Jesus which changed her life. Linda and her husband, Jim Fletcher, were both active in prison ministry until Jim’s death several years ago. I went to visit Linda a couple of days before she died. I’m so glad I was able to see her one last time although I know I’ll see her in heaven some day.
