My condolences to Bob and Linda's family at this most difficult time. It was my pleasure to get to know Linda in the last couple of years. I enjoyed seeing the happy photos of her in this guest book. May she rest in peace with no more pain. God bless her.

I will be forever grateful to have had the honor of knowing Linda in this life. So many things I would like to say to Bob, and so many thoughts of our time with Linda. My favorite memories of her, as I am sure will be shared by many, is her creation of enormous feasts for all who would come, friends, family, and anyone they wanted to bring along. I would often bring my brothers and sisters for one of her meals. And these were not standard fare. These were true creations full to the brim with love. I believe feeding people was Linda's way of sharing her love, and it certainly was received. Our family has lost a very special person in Linda, we will miss her terribly.
