Our prayers to Dr.Linda Pina & family.
We will miss you dearly Linda!

We think of you in silence
And often speak your name,
But all that's left to answer
Is your picture in a frame.
If we could have one lifetime wish
One dream that would come true
We would pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and you.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane
We would walk our way to heaven
To be with you again.

I was so sorry to hear about Linda. We had a common love for our pets, and I recall how Linda would run out of the house calling for Trixie, Chi Chi and Foxy , who all would like to come over and see my Mickey as we went for our walks. It is so sad. Please accept my condolences.

First, Our Condolences to Linda's Family and Dear Friends.
We just found out yesterday that our long time loving and caring Dentist passed and are all "Heart Broken".
My whole Family, Husband, 5 kids, In-Laws, my Husbands brothers and their Family's and my self were all Patients of DR. Pina, for over 17 years.
We moved to Aurora, then Plainfield and would take that drive just to be seen by our beloved Dentist who we all trusted and loved so much. She felt like Family !!
Linda had that special something that I personally so admired. She infected everyone with kindness and genuine care! Like someone said below .... She had a BIG heart.
She will be missed tremendously but NEVER forgotten!
Her friendly and loving face will always be with us, in our hearts <3

I have met Dr. Pina when she saw my children at the old town hall in Cicero many many moons ago. Dr. Pina knew how to relate with all people young & old, she would always give you special treatment when you came to see her. My family loved her as our dentist. I'm am sad to find out about her passing. My heart goes out to her family & staff. She will be greatly missed.

Today I left the hospital so I am late in writing my thoughts now is important for me. Linda will never be truly gone to me because we knew each other for years. She was vulnerable because she was too giving, had a big heart too easily injured, too generous often without appreciation and often taken advantage of. I'm honored to have been a friend. wanting nothing, I enjoyed her company, admired her strength and self assurance and I will always remember her tears and laughter. She was a real person who loved her family.

My heart is breaking with the thought of knowing that I will never hear your voice again, never see your face again and never feel your tender touch again; just once more. Yet, I am able to find comfort, because I do hear you,I see you and I can feel deep in my heart. You will always be a part of me. I love you. Say, hello to Poppy for me.

It is hard to believe that Linda is gone. She always knew how to say the funniest things to break up tensions. When my father was dying from cancer she would help out whenever she could. Linda had a wonderful heart and a beautiful spirit, you will be missed.

Linda, we first met in high school - and continued to college - then I moved out west. You were crazy and funny and a wonderful friend. Caring, giving, lover of good music, lover of life. I never stopped thinking of you. You helped me thru hard times. I remember several late nights, early morning phone calls and you listened to me and my problems. You were such a dear friend and somehow I think I never told you. You will be truly missed by me and by your family.

Linda was a very kind and generous person, She was always helping people. She had a great style and always seemed to be so happy and up beat. It still feels so surreal that she is gone. I will miss her terribly. To her family, there are no words that I can express for how sorry I am for your loss. Rest in peace Linda.

Dear Linda,

You were the most unique person I have ever met! God only knows why you were taken from us. Today and always I will celebrate your life because you were full of it. You taught me so much about life and helped whenever we needed it. Steven and I can not express how much we love and miss you. I hope my son grows up to be like his grandma Linda, someone with a big heart and love for all. I know you're watching over us and I want you to know that I feel so lucky that i was able to be a part of your life. We will never forget you Linda!!

Love

Dear Linda, My best friend.
I will never forget all the good, the funny and crazy things.
Those younger days.
We grew a special friendship and even tough we were far from each other. We were always close. I am missing you so much, and always will, for the rest of my days.
I will keep you alive every day of my life.
You will never leave my hart and my mind.
I know that one day I will see you again, as happy as always, with your tipical smile and your small sparkly eyes.
This time with a new eternal body.
And we will serve God for an eternety.
Until next time my beloved best friend.

Linda, I have known you for 15 years and have so many memories of you. You treated me like family and I loved you as such. I never met anyone who loved music as much as you. I think that was one of the things that connected us, our love of music! I know the Angels are singing for you!

Linda, you were my dentist and my friend. I have known you for just a few years, but the first time I met you it seemed like I knew you forever. You were the master of the infectious smile. When you came in the room it lit up no matter what kind of room it was. I know Heaven lit up the moment you arrived. Not only your family,friends and patients will miss you...so will the whole Berwyn-Cicero area. You are a person that is impossible to replace. You will always be in my heart and prayers.

I had hoped one day that my friend and I would get together to share the millions of memories...some good some bad. I loved my friend with all my heart; my mom, my sisters Donna and Vicky as well as Little Steven and my daughter Lavina all are going through the shock, she was loved. We feel the world is just a little sadder without her. My tears pour constantly; so many little things reminds me of her. I will miss my friend as I have over the years...sleep well my friend, sleep well you deserve it. I will be looking for you when it is my turn.

My aunt was a wonderful, caring and generous person. She was a small woman with a large presence. She was a great inspiration to the rest of the family being the first to graduate from college. She inspired me to go on to college and to help others like she did her entire life. I will truly miss my role model, my mentor and my second mom. I know that wherever she is, she is causing up a storm like she did here on Earth.
Love,
