From the bottom of our heart we want to thank you for the kindness you have shown our family and specifically Aunt Linda.

I’m re-watching this video shortly after Linda has passed away. She was one of a kind, and I’m grateful to you, Chad and Jennifer, for sharing her with your viewers. Know that she’s with Jesus and her parents, and you’ll see her in Heaven one day!
this is absolutely beautiful! Everyone needs to grow up with an "Aunt Linda" I am SO grateful my kids get to experience her the same way I did!

Thank you for sharing Aunt Linda with us! She was such a blessing, we will all miss seeing her. I can only imagine the amount of happiness and excitement she is experiencing now! Maybe she will run into my sister who is also special needs, and has also crossed over, two beautiful lights of the world. Much love to you all!

I agree. I have a syndrome and struggled in school. I’ve struggled intellectually and otherwise. I do truly believe that we do have a place in the is world and god does have a plan. He has a plan for us, we just don’t know the plan always. I can’t have kids, so my nieces and nephews are my pseudo kids. They bring me such joy. Aunt Linda is a gem. Everyone is a gem in their own way. God loves us all.
Missing Linda and rewatching videos of her! LOVE from Burley Idaho !
Aunt Linda is precious. I love it when she is on the vlog. I want to have her attitude for life, always smiling, finding joy in the simplest things.
In this crazy world we are living in today, it’s so comforting to know that there are real loving, caring people. Bless you two!

So so great to see u both back posting vlogs. We will miss Aunt Linda. Ure family did the best by her
I can’t even tell you how touching this is....like I literally cried the entire way through. I couldn’t figure out why I was crying about someone I didn’t even know. Then it hit me, joy, unconditional love and absolute pure love poured out from this video. From you from her....it was so simple but so BIG!

How you talk about aunt Linda brought tears in my eyes because I can see how much you love her. As I said before she reminds me of my aunt Linda and she always puts a smile on my face when I’m sad or depresses. You were a normal brother how you act towards her when you were kids so never regret anything because that’s what was written by the Lord for you to do to give you strength later on.

Carol Julian having taught adults with different abilities for many years, I can say, categorically that the assessments completed regarding intellectual capacity are generally flawed. My students have surprised me so often with their abilities. On paper, you'd think There is no hope. In person, I found intelligence, love, empathy, conscience, and keen ability in many different ways. We can never underestimate abilities. They are extraordinary gifts to our families. God Bless you all for seeing that in aunt linda

I am so so sorry for your Loss of Aunt Linda. She was such a treasure and you're so lucky to have been blessed with her in your lives. I'm happy she waited for you to come home from your mission. I know you will see her again and she's probably waiting for you up in heaven. When you join her she'll be so happy and asking where her presents are 😊😊 rest in peace Aunt Linda.
I'm happy Aunt Linda came into our lives through your family. I watched Bonnie's video yesterday. ❤💫❤️
How sweet. Brought tears to my eyes. It’s nice to appreciate your sister now. It’s never too late.
This proves everyone has a story and treating people with kindness and love is the only way. This touched my heart. I think Bonnie and Linda have a similar sense of humor and they love to make people laugh. I think Linda is a gift.
I was raised with an Aunt Linda, only her name was Aunt Winnie. What a true blessing and by far my favorite aunt. Thank you for sharing.
You can see all of Bonnie's children in your siblings, Chad! The power of genes! Wow! Linda is so sweet. What a lovely story time! 💖
we love you Aunt Linda❤️ you are everyone's aunt now, such a beautiful soul... God Bless you🥰
The love Chad has for his sister😢 so nice to also have a loving wife who respects that love..God bless you both, Linda and your family❤
Thank you for sharing her story!!! We love when she’s on with y’all!
That was just the sweetest, thank you for sharing.

I spent my nursing career in the mental health field. Some days I just flat didn't want to go to work. No reason...just didn't want to go. That changed real fast when you would walk in the door of your unit and one of the patients would tell you "I missed you".....and you were at work just yesterday. Now....again....what was the reason you didn't want to go to work.??!!!!

I can only imagine the reunion she had with her mom and dad on the other side🥰🙏🏻 I also want to say…. This video made me REALLY miss seeing/hearing Jennifer and Chad. I could sit and listen to them talk for hours. The love in their voice is so calming. I know life has been a bit crazy for them since everything happen at the end of last year but I just hope they know how much they are loved and missed by the majority of us! I hope and pray that one day they will come back to KZread. 🙏🏻❤️😘

Since then, I haven't been around my family. They don't want someone with special needs around them. It makes me cry alot to feel so lonely. So seeing this fills my heart so full.

I am so very sorry you are being treated so awful. That is so unfair and your siblings are very selfish, unkind people. I kind of understand how you feel because I grew up in a very dysfunctional family and my mother made sure to let me know that I was not her favorite and constantly caused problems between me and my siblings and we have never been close. I can't trust any of them and so I stay away to protect myself. It's very hard and I understand how lonely you feel. Try to involve yourself with groups that do things you enjoy and make new friends so that you aren't so lonely. Just be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you. You are in my prayers and I hope you find some happiness.
