On the 12th year of your untimely passing my friend you need to know you are still very much loved and thought of. There are so many times I want to call you and just talk, or ask you a question which you will undoubtedly know the answer to - or just spend time together. You and Andy are both in my heart. You will be in heart forevermore. Love and miss you -

On the 11 year anniversary of her passing, the memories remain of a mom lost too soon. I wish she could have seen her grandsons grow into the wonderful young men they are today. I know she would have been so proud. I hope her friends still think of her fondly and often, as I do.

Blessings to all Linda's loved ones. We knew each other for years and it was great to reconnect with her at the 50th. She will be remembered in the hearts of many.

Susan Sands

Mom's gift was bringing people together and even though she's left us, she's still working at it. It is a sad time, but I am so grateful that so many of her dear friends are sharing their memories of her and taking time to be with us and help us as we prepare to go on without her. She was a very lucky woman to have so many special people in her life and for such a long time. Thank you all for being so good to her, and to us. She will be missed but I am comforted in knowing that she will be remembered so fondly by those whose lives she touched.

With much love, her daughter

Dear Andy, Susie and Mike,
I wish I could be with all of you during this trying time, as Linda was with me many years ago. I am so glad we had resumed our friendship after so many years.
Linda was the even keel in any storm that challenged her and those she loved. She always epitomized strength of character, loyalty, saneness and calm.
May the void in our lives be filled with the loving memories she has left for all of us. She will remain forever imprinted in our hearts and minds.
With love-

Ed & Milly Fleck

Dear Andy and family, Milly and I are deeply saddened in our hearts at Linda's sudden passing. More than anyone in our Miami High class of 1959, Linda leaves a legacy unparalleled. She has left us with the mementos, the directories, the photos, and most important, the memories of every one of our high school reunions starting in 1969 up to our 50th in 2009. A person does what Linda did only because of her love for people, and for Miami High. Her devotion, commitment, and caring about others were her hallmarks. Linda will never be forgotten.

Shenandoah Jr. High, then on to MHS, what a beautiful life we have lived and shared. Gone too soon but loved and remembered for her tireless work and joy she brought to others. Deepest sympathy to Andy and the family.

July 14, 2011

Hardy Katz and I will cherish the memories of working together on the 50th Reunion with Linda. I remember when we met at the old Doral Hotel(Miami Beach Hotel and Spa) for the first time.....recounted old times ..stories, and agreed right away that the Hotel would be the perfect place to have our reunion. She and Andy were always the first to greet us at all the reunions as we first all walked in....name tags, drink chits, and meal tickets, etc.
It is very hard to lose a friend of 60 years with a heart as big as life.
Our deepest condolences to Andy and the family......

Linda and I started at Coral Way Elementary together and continued to Shenandoah Jr High and then to Miami High. Her mother was my scout leader and I remember so many great times and laughs. Linda will be remembered by many for her tireless effort in seeing that we had amazing reunions, bringing together so many, after so long. May Linda always be remembered for a blessing.

To the family- I am so sorry that I will not be with you on Sunday to commemorate Linda's life and friendship. Linda and I go back to meeting the in the 7th grade at Shenandoah Jr. High and have been dear friends since then. We shared clothes and stories and our families. I just had a wonderful visit with her in Miami on June 10th when we had lunch to celebrate our 70th birthdays. We had such a nice morning and embraced when we parted. I am so grateful to have had those hours with her. She will be missed more than I can say.
