I was an Attorney at CPCS in Springfield where I became good friends with Linda. Although I moved away over 30 years ago we always kept in touch ( as recently as Christmas Day). I will never forget the wonderful memories I have of Linda and I will miss her dearly. Sending prayers to her family. Luv you always Linda.
