Buddy,

I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Linda. She was an adjunct faculty member in my department at Harper College. Her PSY 106 (College Learning Strategies) students held her in deepest respect due to her professionalism and love of teaching. I specifically recall her creative lessons, carefully designed to engage and to maintain her students' interest. She was a class act. I am so sorry for your loss.

Hal,

I just wanted to express my very deep sadness to you and your family on the loss of Linda. She was a very special lady who was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. I, personally haven't been in contact with the two of you in many years but my thoughts are still with you. Davida and Nicki had such a great time with you and Linda on your trip to Israel and also want to send their deepest sympathies.

God bless you and your family.
