Linda named, claimed, and laid both babies to rest.
She and her high school sweetheart, husband Steve, launched a Foundation, funding ministries around the globe. Steve and Linda attend Antioch Church in Indianapolis where they raised their 4 children. One of Linda’s greatest joys is being called “Honey” by her grandchildren.

Today, Linda works to give honor and dignity to every human life.
