Linda,
You are an amazing person and are missed so much by so many. I still can't believe that you aren't around. I am so glad that I got to know you as well as I did and miss seeing you around at the Shedd on Thursdays. I'm sure that you are smiling down from above, as you have touched so many people's lives.

How deep the sadness to learn of the death of Linda whom I had known since her childhood. A vibrant life has been taken much too soon.

Linda,
I remember you were the one who often gave me my paycheck 25 years ago at Jam Productions. I thought you were cute! In the years following our Jam days, I'd see you around occasionally, and then most recently just a couple of months ago at a show. I still can't believe you're not here, but wherever you are they're better for your presence and they're surley getting their paychecks on time....my prayers and thoughts are with your family.
Much Love,
Michael Reed

Linda was such a strong beacon of energy, creativity and joy. She lit up a room everytime she walked in. You will be sorely missed, even among those, like me, who didn't know you well. What a loss.

Linda and family-
Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. My children loved seeing Linda and her dog, Maggie, walk down the street. Linda was easy to talk to and will be missed.

Linda:
You are a true woman of the world. All cultures, creatures, places and people loved you and were loved by you. Most of all, the sea. Your powerful spirit will be missed.
