As my mother and I were crying with this news, we talked about all the ways Lin demonstrated selfless love, and how she always felt more like family than just a friend. Other than my mother, I have more recipes from Lin than anyone else. How lucky for us, then, to have eaten so many delicious meals with the Dismuke family! I always saw Lin as gentle and loving, the definition of “step up,” and “do the right thing no matter.” Generous and quietly serving, she and Kieth have been amazing ministers to my family in the best way possible. She will be greatly missed and always loved.
