Gordon,
I am very sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. When Mom called, I couldn’t believe it because I never knew she was ill. When I told Noah, he was very upset. He loved coming over there for a visit. My deepest sympathy to you and the rest of Linda’s loved ones. She was a fantastic person and will be greatly missed.

Gordon….I am shocked and saddened by the news of Linda’s passing…you are deeply in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time….I am so glad I visited when I did….Linda seemed to be doing so well at the time, coffee and chat and laughter (one of the few memories I will hang onto) she was a very courageous and loving woman with a heart of gold (only a few reasons she was chosen as godmother to Chad)….hold on to all those wonderful memories as will the boys and I….Please don’t hesitate to call if there is anything we can do.
Love from Lana, Chad and Brandon

We were all so shocked to hear of aunt linda’s passing she was one special lady.The one thing i remember even as a little girl is the way i was always greeted by her a big hug and a wonderful warm smile and that laugh of hers was one of a kind.I hope she knew how much we all loved her she will always be in my heart and in my prayers. You and linda always chose a different path or a different way of doing things but you always did it togther even in her sickness you chose to do it just the 2 of you but this was your way and she lived it until the end.The pain and hurt you are going through does not have to be suffered alone we will always have a hug just waiting for you. Love bj
