Linda and I had many good times together with our children when she lived in Glendale Heights.
I worked with both her and John at Pansophic.

Dear Linda, I believe, in life, we make many acquaintances but few friends. You are a friend and I miss you every day.

Darn! Too many "senior moments" lately!

The note about life on Fairfield is from George!

I learned this morning about Linda's passing and I extend my condolences to the entire extended family. Sorry I missed the services.

My memories of life on Fairfield are all good and a good number of them include the Pelz's!

I always remembered Linda's birthday (since it was 5 days before mine) and took that opportunity to call her once or twice over the years. If I would have known time was short, I would have called more often.

May God's Peace be with Linda and His Blessings on those she leaves behind.

Our sincere condolences to the Mosher family.
