Brian,
I am so sorry to hear about Linda's passing. I know it has been a long time but my memory of her was one a woman full of humor and lived life to the fullest every day. Nobody can make the hurt go away, but remember all the good times and savor the memories.

Look forward and not back, and enjoy the wonderful family you and Linda built.

Warmest Regards,
Nick DiCianni

May 22, 2012

Dear Brian and Family, I was so very sorry to learn of your loss of Linda. Mandy Lutter was keeping me informed. Linda and I talked several times about our Doctor Lurain - even had a few giggles.

Adam, after you first arrived in C.L., all I heard from Samantha was Adam this and Adam that. She had such a crush on you!

Although we didn't see each other often, I so enjoyed her wit, lovely laugh and twinkling eyes.

Remember today, not just your loss, but how your lives were so totally enriched by having her as your wife and mother and many others by having her as a friend. God bless all of you.
