Words cannot describe how sorry I am for your loss. I feel so lucky that Linda was my friend for over 55 years, and I always loved her like a sister. The memories of her will be with me forever, along with all the love and laughter she gave me. I will miss so much about Linda but most of all, having her as my best friend. My sincere condolences to all of her family. You all mean a lot to me, and I will keep you all in my prayers

Linda was my best friend during her time at Pebble Hill school in DeWitt. We always met up to share a meal when I was tin teh Syracuse area. Our conversations were like a comma in a sentence not a period ago we just picked up from our last conversation. I remember her 1963 birthday party…the Sunday after JFK was shot…it was a moment in history that bound us forever. Linda remembered my family and our then farm…that was special. My deepest sympathies to her family!
