Linda and I have been friends since we were in first grade together. Somehow over the years, we were able to always stay in touch and actually live only a few miles from each other. Even though we didn't get together often, I knew she was always as close as a phone call- she was always there when I needed her. I hope I was as good a friend to her as she was to me. I love and miss her dearly.

I graduated from nursing school with Linda in 1979. She was a very good colleague and friend during those school years, and a very bright woman. Excellent nurse. I have many fond memories of her and her great sense of humor.
