Linda was a very caring, talented lady. I knew her from High School when she and her family moved to Streamwood. Linda could sew, paint, make floral arrangements and do just about everything. She always amazed me. I think of her often and do miss her. God be with all of her Family.

I remember LInda always having something going on in during her teen years. I would go to her house, after She would pick me up, cause I couldn't drive, and I always was amazed with the fabric she had. She was showing me what she was sewing now or going to work on later. I would always wish I had that talent to make the clothes she made then. As we all know, it carried on to making gorgeous quilts and other things. I do miss her and wish She was with All of Us. God Bless each of You.
