words cann’t even start to say how sorry i am for your loss .
Linda was such a ray of sunshine in my life. She was never anything but kind and encouraging to me and she will be greatly missed.
I’m so sad I won’t be able to see my friend anymore. Linda was such a wonderful, positive, funny woman. She will surely be missed by many. Lots of love & peace to her family and many friends.
Few women allow their husbands to bring home co-workers and in turn embrace them as extended family. Linda was one of them.
The world just got a little less cheery.
Linda was a kind and loving person. I will miss her so much.
