Dear Carl, Michael, Debbie, Kevin and Kristen:

In this time of grief, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that in this difficult time, the love of God shelters you and mends the pain as you move forward.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Linda's passing, she was one "terrific" lady with a great sense of humor. I will always treasure our days at Bank of Chicago. My deepest condolences to you and your entire family. May her memory be eternal.

The 'spice for life' that Linda added each day and in every way will always be remembered as will her caring ways. My deepest sympathy to you all.

I didn't know Linda well, but her amazing daughter Kristen is family. Linda must have been a very special person to have raised a daughter like Kristen. It is hard to find the right words. I hope you all eventually find some comfort and peace, and live a life she would be proud of.
