Linda comes from Chicago, where it’s cold, and the winds blow,
To Texas, where the bluebonnets roam, she now makes her home.
She is our rock and support; when we need her, she is there,
So true with a passion that’s really quite rare.
A beautiful family she has, no one can dispute;
With Rick, and their three kids,
There’s Sauti, Niamke, and Taraji- who’s in the military now, and we must salute!
A close-knit family they have, and quite proud of, I bet no one dare refute.
That Linda is our crossword champ, there can be no doubt,
Know that we’ve tried to get her to quit smoking, but hey, watch out!
At times, a force to be reckoned with, headstrong, and true,
For you can be sure she’ll fight to the end for you, she will follow through.
Now Linda, I know that this office will do well
With a someone so steady, sure, and dedicated like you.
From my heart, I wish you the very best, you know that I do.
For our time is getting close and I will soon bid you adieu.
