Dear Sherwin, Ben, and Family,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Linda's passing. I worked with her at Drs. Imhof and Giroux. She was funny and full of life. I pray for comfort and peace for you and your family.

Debbie and Sherwin,

I'm so sorry to hear that Linda has passed. She was "Auntie Linda" for many years as our households melded with her sister Debbie's, of which Linda was an intricate part. Even I called her Auntie Linda. I can still picture her, years later trudging up her sister Debbie's driveway into the house.I can't believe she's gone. Debbie, Sherwin and all of the Farbers, I'm sorry because I know how much Linda meant to you.

Sherwin,
I will miss Linda for all the warmth she has shown me and for recognizing the true frindship of ours. She leaves you with good memories and most importantly Ben. A true gift from God, through Linda, for ever and ever. Call anytime to have another lunch with your dad.
with Love,
Dave & Terese Audino

Sherwin & family-
Linda once sent me an email that ended with the following saying...
"When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're smiling and everyone around is crying." That's the way Linda lived as she touched so many people's lives. She will always be with you and Benji and her memories with so many others.

Dear Sherwin, I have grown to know you and Linda from your neighbor the Schwartz's. I also have gotten to know Benjy as Jody has spent more time with him. Each time I would see Linda she would be positive and upbeat. Her outlook on life was great. Her love for you and Benjy will last forever as our memory of Linda will also last forever. I wish that you and Benjy will cherish the time you had with her and have many memories to comfort you during this time of sorrow. Holly, Marc and Zach Lichtman
