We can only hope that when we pass, that we are remembered as fondly as Courtney is. I remember her smiling with bouncy hair that matched her fun personality. She would've made a great caretaker and nurse.

On Sunday, 9/23 I was in the St. Louis airport. A beautiful young woman sat a few seats from me in obvious distress. When I went to comfort her I learned of her friend Courtney's sudden passing. I learned some wonderful things about Courtney in those minutes, and my heart was deeply touched by the memories that were shared. I'm sorry to say I did not get this lady's name, but wanted her to know that I have upheld her, and Courtney's family in prayer. How fortunate all of you are to have had such a person in your lives. May God's peace, which passes all understanding, be with you now and always.

To Ms Beth Linn
I am so sorry for your loss. I regret that I hadn't seen Courtney in many years. I remember playing together when we were just kids.I was shocked to hear of her passing. It seems she has left quite a legacy. I'll be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

Courtney was one of my best friends ever! There are not many memories without her. Courtney made everything an adventure in her own way. I feel extremely priviledged to have known her for over half my life. She was the sister I never had, and the friend I always wanted. I feel like she's taking a little piece of me away with her, but at the same time I am taking a piece of her with me and I will cherish it always. I love you Courtney, God be with you. To RJ, Mr. Linn, Ms. Linn, and Holly, I'm so sorry and love you all. Always remember her beautiful smile and lovely eyes.

In Courtney's own words, "live life one day at a time and enjoy it one moment at a time." I will always remember that advice and will miss your kind nature.

I would life to offer my sympathy to Courtney's family and all of her freinds.I last seen Courtney at our high school reunion last year. Where we all laughed remembering our high schools days. In our time of sadness it helps to remember the good times we all had, the smiling face we all knew, and to think of all the lives God allowed her to bless.

I would like to offer my condolences to Courtney's family and friends. I hadn't seen Courtney much since high school but I had the privilege of seeing her again at the reunion last year. She was always such a positive person with the greatest smile! My heart is heavy today after learning of her passing. May God be with all of you during this time.

I am at a loss. Courtney was put here with all of us to show us how to live. I can only remeber her always laughing and giving you an off the wall look when you were not laughing with her. Because to her laughing and smiling was like breathing. Most of my memories of Court ( as we called her growing up)was her and Andrea they where two peas in a pod frick and frack always. To Courts family , Thank you for giving her to us and for sharing her. The impression she left in the lives of those she touched will live on and be passed on.

Anyone that knows Courtney knows what a postive and happy person she was. She had a way of bringing the sunshine into a room and making you feel good about yourself. More people should be like her and I hope that is something we all take with us in our hearts. RJ, she talked about you all of the time, I could tell how much she loves you. I still remember her bragging about the nurse picture you drew for 102! Know my heart and prayers are with you and the rest of her family. I know that she would want us all to celebrate her life and to carry on with a smile as beautiful and genuine as hers.

I was in class with Courtney over the summer. She was always fun to be around and willing to help others in any way she could. She was very bright, caring and always had a positive attitude. I didn't know Courtney for very long, but I am glad I had the opportunity to share some of my days with her. The medical community will certainly miss having a nurse like Courtney.

We miss you greatly! I remember the stories of you getting the new dog, the dog park and meeting our neighbors, helping to find a reliable vehicle, the Christmas Party w/ Frankies and the fun times we had singing/dancing. We know God had a better plan for you and you are in good hands. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. RJ - if there is anything we can do to help out or just a shoulder to cry on you know where to find us.

To All Courtney's Family,

I was shocked to hear this awful news. Everyone knows that Courtney and I had our differences but none of that matters. I loved Courtney and we had great times together. We had more fun than two people should be allowed to have. My heart goes out to all of you and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Kendra Linkowski

Courtney was funny and animated and she had a melodius singing voice if you didnt know. She and my daughter were friends for many years and I especially remember when I first met her at the Edisto River when we played cards on the porch in the rain, listened to music, talked and laughed a lot. My sympathies to Beth, RJ, her siblings and relatives. Also, to her many friends. I know her work and school mates enjoyed her smile, bright eyes, wild locks and lightheartedness. Courtney was on her way to a happy future but God's plan is wiser than ours and he must have needed her for his own. Pray for understanding and acceptance. Love and blessings...

Pennie Folden

September 25, 2007

Beth and Holly,
Please accept our sincere condolences. I will always remember Courtney's sweet smile and loud laugh. I can picture us now running and playing through the halls at Pinewood during the summers while you and Mom were working. Please know that you are both in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Dennis and Pennie Folden, Linda Sapp, Mandy Miles and Alex Sapp

When receiving the call about Courtney last night it was an absolute shock. We remember her as the fun, loving, happy go lucky individual. She always had a smile and was fun to be around. Even when she was down at her lowest, she always had a positive attitude. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Our hearts go out to you at this time of sorrow and in the days ahead. The Frankie's Fun Park crew will definitely miss you, but we know you are looking down upon us to keep the positive attitudes, smiles, and fun loving memories.

My Deepest Sympathy the family of Courtney.
She was so kind and gentle. Just a sweet Angel. I remember her curly blond hair and her dimples and always a smile on her face. She was always so chipper each day, when I came to work at IHG. I was sad to see her go, when she left to go to college. I can remember when she was so excited about her cruise trip.
She will be deeply missed.

My heart goes out to you all.
Love and Prayers

I worked with Courtney at IHG for a short time. The time I did get to know her she was as sweet as she could be. Always willing to help me as a new Agent. I am sadden that this loving person is now gone from this world. There should be more people like her. Courtney's family has my deepest sympathy and just know you and Courtney will be in my thoughts and prayers. She will be missed.

Courtney-Girl, we will miss your big, bright, blue eyes that were always wide with wonder and excitment, your infectious smile, and wild hair!

You showed us how to work with a great attitude. Thank you for the laughter. Thank you for your bull dog determination. Thank you for letting us watch you grow and blossom into a great nurse.
