I just want to send my love and sympathy. I loved Linda very much and have missed her through the years. I can hardly think of a single memory of when I was young, that didn't have her in it. She was a special person who will be missed by anyone who knew her.

Please know she will ALWAYS be in my heart.

Rich, You are in my thoughts & prayers. Linda was the vey best of girl friends. Our lunches together, garage saling, movies, dinner with the husbands all started with me taking care of her cats Cleo & Baby whom she loved like children. Her sense of humor was infectious. My life was changed by this wonderful, loving, devoted, girlfriend. I love you forever Linda and save a place for me at God's table as we need to do lunch! Elsa
