I just happened across tnis information. Linda and I were young single mothers and neighbors in the 1980s. She and I went to business school together, her driving her Volkswagen bug while I simultaneously scraped ice off the INSIDE of the windshield. As life progressed, we lost contact but I actually told the Volkswagen story just last Sunday which is the day she left us. I wish peace to her friends and loved ones. Linda was a great gal and I still remember her laugh.
I worked with Linda at United Van Lines, I was such a young naive kid and Linda knew it and had such patience with me, I’m now 5o and remember her kindness like it was yesterday. She was always good to me. Rest in peace Linda, I’m blessed to have met you. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
I remember her smile
I worked with Linda at UniGroup. I loved her stories about her sons and the gas station stories. She always told me her Birthday was the month after Jesus was born. I never forget her Birthday! We both had a great love for the best salad ever at Bill Gianinnos. I didn’t hear back when I left you a Birthday message. I wish I had tried one more time. Hugging you in my heart Linda. Rest in Peace my friend.
Linda was my sister-in-law and she will surely be missed! She had a great sense of humor and there was never a dull moment being around her!. Rest in Peace Linda.
Sending prayers for her family!
