Memories and Condolences
for Linda Thorpe

Not sure what to say?





When I think about Linda, I think she did not only grab my ear but she also grabbed my heart. She was vibrant and full of love. She was always willing to help. A caretaker to many of us at Albany Med. Her memory was sharp, she remembered birthdays and things that many of us would forget.
I will mostly remember how kind she was. If we could all learn anything from Linda it would be that. I will miss her.
