In honor of her outstanding service to the mentally ill and homeless in Deland, Florida, Linda has been awarded the prestigious Points of Light award and President Bush has declared today, April 11, 2006, as National Linda Brown Day!
In addition to being a missionary who devotes so much of her time and energy to these forgotten souls in our own country, Linda is also Arianna's Mema (or, grandma). We are blessed to have such an example of selfless caring and compassion in our family. I hope that Arianna grows up with the same big heart, wise ways, and spirit of activism as her Mema.
Congratulations Linda, on creating such an excellent and sorely needed program!
Love,
Rebecca, Andrew and Arianna
