I extend my sincere sympathy to the Sullivan family, words can not express my sadness for the loss of such an amazing woman.

Linda,

Because of your kind words of love and encouragement I have become the person that I am today. Working with you allowed me to see the amazing gift of living life and most importantly the beauty that can be found in each and every one of us. Not only did you open your heart to me but everyone that saw your amazing smile. I will keep you in my heart always and will miss you greatly.

Know instead of me coming over to your house Ill just look up to see you and your dad playing cards.

Dear Joe and Joey and Family,



It is so hard to put in words how sad I am to hear about Linda's passing. She was so courageous in her fight against cancer, but she never faltered in her love of family and friends.



I know that it is very hard to imagine that things will ever get better, but in time the good memories of your life together with Linda as mother and wife will replace these sad moments.



I have great memories of spending time with Linda in high school, our bowling group "The Crazy Eights", weddings, births of our children, and our fun friend get togethers.



Remember that it is Faith, Family and Friends that help us thru the darkest times, and helps us enjoy the good times.



Love Always - Chris & Beth Hack and Liam Flynn
