II Corinthians 5:8 "To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord." Our beloved Mother, Linda Lou "Mammaw" Sullivan Weaver , "took her Heavenly flight" on December 20, 2014, in Shreveport, LA, at the age of 78. Linda was born on April 13, 1936 in Saline, LA. From the day they first met, she and her husband were inseparable. They faithfully served their church, Baptist Tabernacle, for over 50 years in administration and many ministries. Singing was her passion and she often sang with her family and friends and was a devoted member of the choir. She was a very active member of the Joy Club where she enjoyed fellowship with other senior adults. Her greatest joys in life were serving God, her family, her church and time spent with her dear friends Luke and Becky Bissell. She was an amazing woman, loved beyond compare.
