Linda and i shared a birthday as well as a Pater lineage (my mother and hers were sisters!). And she was just two years older than me. My heart goes out to her family - especially Sarah. God love and God bless.

To Karen Nelson-Oliver and the Nelson Family my condolences. Karen & I went through 12 years of school together and I have many fond memories of spending time at the Nelson house, always hectic & always fun. And I remember what the "G." stands for in your middle name. So sorry for your loss.
