Linda, you are still in our hearts and memories. We have such great memories of you as our dear friend and neighbor in Pocono. You loved children and sharing with them as the Easter Bunny and other characters. Other characters in movies filmed in Richmond, VA. were many.

I knew Linda through her work in the movie industry. She was always so full of life, energy and sparkle. The thing I will remember most about her is the beautiful smile she had for everyone she met. She was loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

There are no words to express the sorrow of losing a beloved mother. Unfortunately, grief is the price we pay for love and she was loved.
