Although I was privileged to meet Linda only once, I was touched by her son Phil's love and devotion to his mother. My deepest condolences to the entire family.

Dearest Richard, Kirsten, Donny and Phillip,
Linda's strength and determination in battling her illness will always inspire me. She could not have fought this fight without your tremendous support and love. Thank you, thank you!
Yesterday, I walked in the Jimmy Fund marathon walk in Boston to honor Linda and to raise funds for cancer research for the Dana-Farber Center. I will miss her always. My heart overflows with sadness as I will forever cherish our long friendship. With much love, Tina
