Linden Anderson

Linden Anderson, 77, of Cumming went to Heaven Wednesday, June 12, 2024. We have lost a hardheaded, stubborn, loving, caring, old man. His daughter, Melinda put it this way… Dad was a one of a kind, not an easy one to let go. He would give you his shirt off his back if you needed it. He might even ask for it back. Hahaha He was so stubborn that he showed me he wasn't going to Texas to live with me. Dad, you got the last joke. We considered, seriously, placing his casket and driving him back to Texas to show him. If you see me driving his truck don't look in the back. Lol Daddy, you weren't easy to love at times. You made me scratch my head too many times, however you were a strong man. I don't think I have seen too much you couldn't do. You never let "No" stop you. You always helped at church often and was talking about doing some more. However, God said “come to me”, I am saddened you’re gone on earth; however happy you are walking those streets of gold. I wished so many more memories could have been made. I wished a lot of things would have been different. However, God gave us eyes to look forward not backwards. And I hear you telling me “Do what I told you!”

I am thankful you accepted Rick aka “Rich”. He's my soul mate and God placed us together for 18 years and countless more to go. He’s almost trained up. Haha I love you and as always, until we meet again Dad, I Love you and Miss you.
