Okay. You win for the oddest question I have ever seen on this blog. Lol What happened to questions like I wonder what her favorite author is or does she have a dog.
Ok, what do I win? LOL! I'll admit it's a rather odd question to be asking but I do remember Linda saying in an interview her father's ashes had been scattered over the area of the Sonoran desert where their ranch home had been. And then I find that information on him indicating he and his wife are buried at the cemetery in question in unmarked graves. And it got me to wondering if Linda's parents are buried in the cemetery, could it be something she didn't want others knowing about, who might hang around just to watch for her paying a visit?
Most fans would respect her privacy on matters like that, but then there may be others who would take advantage to try and say hello or get an autograph. Also, don't forget there are fans who like a souvenir and wouldn't be above taking grave markers or head stones as their souvenir.
And in this day and age of youtube, there could be some who would film such an encounter and post it on youtube. I watched one video by a 'fan' filming one of his favorite performers, which was very pathetic and embarrassing as he tried to get the performer to talk to him, and wasn't above whining that he had traveled more than a thousand miles just to see, hear and talk to that performer. The fan - a grown man - acted more like a ten year old kid. I could see where Linda might have said her dad was cremated to throw fans off track, allowing her the privacy she needs when visiting her parents' grave.
How about cremated, scattered and buried? We did both as well as scatter some in two different states. I consider that her family’s business, not ours.
