In Loving Memory of Linda Tolley

Devoted- "A devoted family member puts the needs and happiness of their loved ones before their own. They are always there for support, both emotionally and physically, no matter what."
There are so many words to describe Linda. It's so hard to pick a leading one. She's a daughter,
sister,wife,mom,aunt,grandma and second mom to many.
Her and her husband Paul have been married for 43 beautiful years. She is an incredibly devoted mom, but her proudest title is Grandma to her 3 handsome grandsons.
Linda, her husband Paul, daughter Dawn,son Bobby and her grandson T.J moved to Florida (their favorite place was Disney) just about 2 years ago from long Island. They came back last week to celebrate my oldest sons graduation and see the family that is still here including her dad and sister.
On the way up Linda experienced some extreme health complications due to her diabetes. She went to the hospital in hopes they would be able to help. Unfortunately things went from bad to worse. She went into shock and had to have major surgery to install 2 Impella devices to help her heart pump along with high doses of medication. The doctors at stony brook tried everything they could and unfortunately her heart couldnt take anymore and her body shut down. Linda passed away peacefully July 5th at 9:08pm.
I'm asking...begging you to please help this amazing family with the cost of her funeral. This is completely unexpected, and as they navigate how life will be with out the woman who has been there for everything and held everyone together they shouldn't have to figure out expenses for her funeral.
So please donate what you can,share as much as you can.
Thank you!
To properly pay respects to the G.O.A.T that is Linda, We will be having a Celebration of Life for her on Sunday July 16th from 1pm to 3pm at the Moose Lodge in Mt. Sinai. The address is 37 Crystal Brook Hollow Road in Mt.Sinai. Please if you choose to join us in celebration do not mourn her, she didn’t want that. Her personality and soul are all about joy and laughter. ❤️
Again in lieu of flowers for mom, please bring or send an ornament for us to place on her memorial tree. If you need the address please reach out to Dawn Tolley.
To everyone who shared/donated,
My family and I are forever and eternally grateful for you. Without the support regardless of how you showed it Sunday would not have been as amazing as it was. My mother was smiling down as she watched us celebrate her instead of grieving her. She always loved to make everyone happy and is by far without a doubt the most selfless person I have had the honor of knowing and loving. I am so proud to call her mom as I am sure my brothers are as well. I have big shoes to fill but I know she will guide me or scold me when I need it the most. Thank you all again.
With much love and respect,
