To the family of Luinda White, I am so sorry for your loss! I loved Luinda so much! When we were living in Phoenix, we took quite a few college classes together and I enjoyed every minute of my association with her in college, in church and as my dear friend. We might have even watched a couple of Phoenix Suns games too, or talked about them alot. When I vacationed in Phoenix in 1998, she helped me during a difficult time in my life, with the loss of a stillborn granddaughter. She always had the best advice, the best smile, and always the reassurance she was there for me. My dear sweet friend, in the last 25 years since we left Phoenix, I have missed our times so much! I am glad she isn’t suffering any longer. I wish we were closer to help you out in any way we could. My prayers are for comfort for all of the White family, remember and cherish your time with Luinda.

Marvin and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Luinda became my dear friend when she moved to Tooele from Bingham. We were always together the last couple years of high school and were sometimes called the “gold dust twins”. I thought of her as my sister. I saw her once after we went our separate ways. Your family visited me and my family in Indiana on your way East around 1965.
I have been trying to locate her for several years. I searched her name one more time tonight and saw her beautiful face, just as I remember her. I have memories of her that have never faded and will always love her and the time we spent together.

Bette, we just saw your message on Luinda’s obituary. We remembered our visit with you in Lafayette. Luinda always spoke kindly of you and shared many happy memories of your time together in high school. That was a special time for her and your friendship meant so much to her. Thank you so much for your caring condolences.
