and the story goes on.

First things first..... doesn't Frank look just like his Mother? I think so too.

To begin with when she was born she was so dark and so hairy Mom didn't believe she was hers and told her to take her back (hahahah). And Linda makes fun of me LOL
But you can definitely see she belongs in the Stone/Czak family.

When she was real young aunt Helen tried to get her to do something and Linda was so stubborn that she went and hid in a closet and sat on dad's trunk and aunt Helen went in and pounded her head against the wall. LOL.. Of course, Mom never said nothing. Stubborn Linda still wouldn't come out of the closet, now you know this is all hearsay, but its pretty much truth. Ask your aunt she'll tell ya.

Linda was always a tomboy, She'd come home with snakes in her pocket and forget to take them out until Mom finds them while doing the wash. When Mom would ask Linda to go make beds. she'd do it real bad so Mom would say Carol go show Linda how it's done. and I'd of course make them perfectly and they all giggled behind my back, being the baby I never knew they were just tricking me to go make the beds right. The more she praised me the more beds I remade cause Linda botched them all. ggggrrrrrr

Boys use to show up at our house and ask Linda to come out and fight them cause so and so said he can't take her. She always whipped their butts.

One time she told Dad some kid was after her, and he took her in the backyard and put on boxing gloves with her. Then he told Linda to HIT HIM.......she said Dad I don't want to hit you. He said I said go ahead and HIT ME!!!! So she did and when she did she knocked him on his back (he was already down on his knees). He got up and said you don't need no lessons, go get that boy!!!!!!!

Then she grew up, Mike use to think he was my body guard, but that was before Linda started watching over me. No matter what kind of trouble I got into Linda always came to my defense or rescue.. If I got in trouble with mom.. she'd talk to mom and get me out of it. One time Manuel tried to attack me...... your auntie Lin pushed open the door and said to him before you touch her your gonna have to go through me. With her fists ready to knock him out. I gave him a big shove..... knocked him on his butt in the closet and Linda said RUN........ so I did. Then she threatened him to NEVER go near me again. From that day he never bothered me again.

While I was starting into my teen years, Linda is 5 years older, she use to take me to the mall and buy me clothes all the time. She and i were always out doing something. We seldom did much alone. But we always had a good time. She taught me how to count to 20 in Spanish while waiting for the church bus to pick us up. It was cold out and every time I said it wrong she'd hit me on my face. (not real hard) just enough to sting. Then I'd have to start all over again. But you can bet I learned to count to 20 fast!!!!

Linda then married, had Ann Marie and then Frank & Megan. and you know all the rest cause you were there. But those are my memories of Linda Lou
