Linda Mackey

On our first date at Malibu beach, after a great meal, and both of us knowing we had found our soul-mate, we walked down to the beach. I jumped down a thigh-high step-cliff, and reached back to help you down. You said "Can you support me?" we instantly got the Feudian slip, knowing we would be together for our lifetime. I simply said, "I'll try." (I was in the best shape of my life, getting ready for boot-camp, and a recent brown belt in karate) You know I tried, and it is enough. Anyone reading this should know, she knows you tried, and she tried, it is all enough. She would want you to know, in the days ahead, when you have question in the bleak of the night, "it is enough, that Jesus died, and that He died for me", she is with the only Man I trusted to take complete care of her. All is well with my soul. Enough is Perfect. The Cross is the only thing that is Perfect, and it is enough. Gentle soul, you have done enough, and it is Perfect. Rest in that .

At Playhouse, I'd always hear you walk around the corner saying,"Well Hello there Lizzy Welker!" It always made me laugh that you'd always hafta call me by my full name. The first show I ever did was yours, Socks. I had such a blast that all I ever wanted to do was theatre. I remember you where teaching our acting class at GV and had asked us to bring to something that makes you emotional. You had then asked us to get on stage and tell us why this object ment something to us. I had brought my father's hat that he had always worn. When I got up in front of my class I burst into tears & pretty much had a melt down. You pulled me aside & told me not to be sad. That he was in a better place and that I should not fret but rejoice. So Linda, I will rejoice... I will rejoice in all the smiles & laughs that we shared...All the good times & hard...May you rest in peace & know you have touched my heart.

I remember one time when we dropped off our daughters to see a movie... a homeless man came up to us and wanted some money, I said I'm but no and you piped up and asked him "are you hungry, sir?" he said yes and you started to head to your car and that was when you told me that you kept vienna sausages in the can in your trunk for when someone is hungry on the streets. I always admired your thoughtfulness. I am trying to remember every single solitary moment with you so I can share these memories with others. I know even if they weren't blessed to know you, they will be blessed and inspired by hearing about you.
